GOOD:
A Whitehorse policeman had 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 then found a young accomplice down the road with a sign
reading "TIPS" and a bucket full of money. (And we used to just sell
lemonade!)
BETTER:
A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an automated
radar post in Whitehorse Y.T. A $140.00 speeding ticket was included. Being
cute, he sent the police department a picture of $140.00. The police
responded with another mailed photo of handcuffs.
BEST:
A young woman was pulled over for speeding. As the Yukon R.C.M.P. Officer
walked to her car window, flipping open his ticket book, she said, "I bet
your are going to sell me a ticket to the R.C.M.P. " Ball" He replied,
"Ma'am, Yukon R.C.M.P. 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 drove off. She was laughing too hard to
start her car.
