How Do You Beat A Traffic Ticket?

You're tooling down the interstate, zipping lane to lane, casually passing car after car when you hear the shrill sound of the siren behind you and you see the flashers atop the police cruiser driven by the officer who wants you to pull over. Before you bring your car to a halt you realize a couple of things: you were doing 10 to 20 miles over the speed limit; you're aware you don't really have an excuse for speeding; and you need the ticket and the points like you need a hole in the head. As you reach for your license, registration and insurance you know the only way out is to come up with a stunning ploy. What do you do? Actually, your options are wide open. At least there are ten good ones, according to jalopnik.com -- everything from "I gotta poop" to crying like a baby to disarming humor to lying like a cheap rug to being uber polite. What's your favored approach? Better yet, what's actually worked for you?

Rumor leads to almost all the gas stations in Nashville being pumped dry as panic induces residents to stock up. Drivers were reported to be following gas trucks and lines at the few stations with fuel extended over a mile.

Third Party Ticket?

For each of the last two elections at least, it has been a common political theme to complain that the Republican and Democratic candidates for President are no more than peas in the same political pod, so to speak. Comedian David Letterman, for example referred to George Bush and Al Gore as one person named "Al Bore" in 2000 while the television show South Park referred to the 2004 choice between George Bush and John Kerry as a choice between a douche and turd sandwich.
