Funny Poop
A man was speeding down the highway, feeling secure in a
gaggle of cars all traveling at the same speed. However, as they passed a speed trap, he got
nailed with an infrared speed detector and was pulled over.
The officer
handed him the citation, received his signature and was about to walk away when
the man asked, "Officer, I know I was speeding, but I don't think it's
fair - there were plenty of other cars around me who were going just as fast,
so why did I get the ticket?"
"Ever go
fishing?" the policeman suddenly asked the man.
"Ummm,
yeah..." the startled man replied.
The officer
grinned and added, "Did you ever catch all the fish?"
