Let me tell you all what my wife told an Arkansas State Trooper once.
We were coming back from Little Rock on I-40 and got pulled over for speeding. Well, when the trooper came up to my door, Brenda said to him, "You should have seen how fast he was going before YOU clocked him!
(at that point, I was not a happy camper, to say the least) The trooper looked at her and looked at me and simply said to slow down and be safe. Then he looked at her then back at me and walked back to his car.
Never even gave me a warning ticket! Probably felt sorry for me!
I could not figure what possessed Brenda to say that, BUT I didn't gwet a ticket!
We talked abouit that off and on for several years.
