The PoliceSitting in my local pub late one night enjoying the landlord's flexible idea of what constitutes his licencing hours, a bunch of drunk blokes in raincoats burst in. Requesting to be served, one shouted at the barman "It's alright - we're not coppers!"
They were spitting images of Lt. Columbo to a man. The barman laughed them out of the pub.

Not sure it's funny exactlyBut the first time I sped at over a hundred mph, I got pulled over.
I'd been stuck behind three lanes of lorries trundling along at about fifty. Finally, the fast lane clears, and it's peddle-to-the-metal. Got up to about 120 getting past all the slow bastards. Then realised my exit was coming, and had to stamp on the brakes fairly sharpish if I was going to make the exit (I wasn't that familiar with that end of the M27).
Then the flashing lights come on. "Do you know why you've been pulled over sir?" "Yes." Return to the unmarked police car, look at the Video. "You've were travelling at 87 mph." Result. I'll take three points and a forty quid fine as opposed to an instant ban, thankyou very much...
These days I only speed when necessary. I.e. every single day, but I've made a point of never going over 100 again.
