Actual things

Actual things I've said :

To CEO of the last company I worked for in his house on Turkey Hill road : "So, like, are we on a hill right now?"

To a cop who pulled me over doing 75 in a 45 mph zone : "Officer, I was speeding because I wanted to catch the light before it turned red."

Actual things I've seen on the news :

NBC news teaser : "A body was found in a local cemetery. Police are still investigating."

ABC news teaser : "In breaking news, a local woman gave birth on the Vine Street Expressway. Our camera crew went behind the scenes to investigate."

    "Officer, I was speeding because I wanted to catch the light before it turned red."

    Did he buy it ?

    I bet he would have if you were a blonde (and a member of the opposite sex).

    Local news teasers (and the news itself) are the funniest things on TV other than Stewardt/Colbert.

  3. He didn't buy it. In fact, he got so pissed that he gave my friend in the backseat who was whispering at me to shut the hell up a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt. Never seen anyone get a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt in a backseat before or after that episode.

  4. I thought the driver got the ticket for people not wearing a seatbelt. Or maybe that's only in the magical land of Pennsylvania.
