1) Good:
A Fremont, OH policeman had a perfect spot to watch for speeders, but
wasn't getting many. Then he discovered the problem. A twelve-year-old
boy was standing up the road with a hand-painted sign, which read
"RADAR TRAP AHEAD". The officer then found a young accomplice down the road
with a sign reading "TIPS" . . . and a bucket full of money. (And we
kids used to just sell lemonade!)
2) Better:
A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an
automated radar post in Canton, OH. A $40 speeding ticket was included. Being
cute, he sent the police department a picture of $40. The police
responded with another mailed photo of handcuffs.
3) Absolute Best:
A young woman was pulled over for speeding. As the Ohio State Trooper
walked to her car window, flipping open his ticket book, she said, "I
bet you're going to sell me a ticket to the State Troopers Ball." He
replied " Ohio State Troopers don't have balls." There was a moment of
silence while she smiled, and he realized what he'd just said. He then
closed his book, got back in his patrol car and left. She was laughing
too hard to start her car
