GOOD

A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an automated radar post in La Crosse, WI . A $40 speeding ticket was included .

Being a wise guy, he sent the police department a picture of $40 . The police responded with another mailed photo of a set of handcuffs .


BETTER

Madison, WI, policeman found a perfect spot to watch for speeders, but wasn't getting many . Then he discovered the problem - a 12-year old boy was standing up the road with a hand painted sign, which read "RADAR TRAP AHEAD" .

The officer also found the boy had an accomplice who was a bit further down the road after the trap with a sign reading "TIPS" and a bucket full of money . (And we used to just sell lemonade!)


BEST

A young woman was pulled over for speeding . A State Trooper walked to her car window, flipping open his ticket book, she said, "I bet you are going to sell me a ticket to the State Trooper's Ball .

He replied, "Wisconsin State Troopers don't have balls . " There was a moment of silence, then he closed his book, got back in his patrol car and left .

Cheers
