Or did I miss your Serling like derby super?

[notyep59]

my goal is to one day have a posse come to my rescue when i duel you in computer idiocy. i sit here now wondering when yours will show up.

[Mortimer]

Don't look now...but I think you're winning.

[Mortimer]

I better stop before Coach insults me with that hideous O'Riley clip.

When he comes back with the ticket, I ask "Can I please see the radar gun" he says "It is already cleared". I say "Ok" and that is that. Now, there is NO WAY that he got me on the gun given he was going the other way down Higgins, and there is no way that he could have paced me because he was going the other way?

Anyone know if there is a protocol in radar gun clearing? I am going to contest it and go to court, not only will he probably not show up, but after that I think I have a decent case.

good luck with the ticket, scav. my advice would be to plead guilty and try to get traffic school. no big deal for a young guy like yourself. and i apologize for being a small part af the hijacking of this thread, but it is fun messing with the legend that is mortimer.

Scavs...say hello to these other recent Ohio speeding ticket offenders! I got a ticket years ago as I was crossing the PA/Ohio border on my way to Jacobs Field

If he doesn't show up, then probably the only reason he gave one to you anyway is that he was 'under quota' for the month on them. Good luck with it (and it's weird that you're not going across from AP, that you've got to go to Skokie)..... and also glad I wasn't driving there today.... the flow of traffic along there's normally at least 60.

I got a ticket in California a couple months ago going 89 in a 65, when in fact I was probably going over 100. In California if you're going 25+ they can put you in jail immediately. I said thank you sir have a nice day and paid it.

in case you didn't know, they can do that in KY too.....for future reference

[Mortimer]

Thank you,Ms. Parker.


Perhaps sometime you can relate to us some of your deadly confrontations with state patrolmen and your hemline.

Are you sure???

[Danzig]

no, i was just kidding. i try real hard not to get pulled over, generally set cruise at 9 above the posted limit on highways.
haven't gotten a ticket in 13 years, so i guess it works. that and luck.
