Anyway...I won't tell you what it cost me, but FWIW, if a cop ever

While I agree aren't you actually required to if he asks?



Actually the answer to this would be yes, IF the request was an
official one made for an official purpose.
In this case, it was an obvious attempt at humor and being a smart ass
as I was, I supplied it. Bad ju ju in case you need to know :-))

I've also heard the story with another outcome. The cop laughed and
said "either slow down or gain altitude" and let the guy off.

Hi Margy;

Hope you and Ron had a great holiday and will be having a great new year
as well.

Best all around comeback I ever heard in my life I witnessed one morning
at a local convenience store when I stopped in for coffee.
Gathered around the place where you put in your cream and sugar were a
small group of what looked like construction workers all making up their
coffee to go. These guys looked REAL rough. I wouldn't want to have
tangled with any of them believe me.

Torn tee shirts...beards......tattoos....cigarettes rolled up under
their sleeves...the whole nine yards.....a REAL rough looking bunch if
ever there was one.
In walks what I can only describe as a GORGEOUS woman. I made her age in
her early twenties. She had on a simple black mini dress, high heels,
and all this on what had to be a perfect frame :-)
Anyway, she pours herself a cup of coffee and is putting in the cream
when she spots one of the rough looking construction types staring at her.
I guess she was in a bad mood. She snapped at him in a loud voice,
"I hope you're getting an eyeful!!!"
I was standing off to the side watching all this quietly.
The entire area suddenly got deathly quiet. I didn't know what was going
to happen next.
The guy put down his coffee and answered her in a slow absolutely
respectful voice brimming over with sincerity.
He said,
"I'm awfully sorry Miss. I didn't mean to be disrespectful in any way.
Please excuse me.......It's just that you are SO beautiful."

The woman just stared at him and you could see the anger melt away from
her face. I've never seen someone change like that.
She just smiled at him and said;
"I'm sorry, and thank you so much. You've just made my day for me".

Best comeback I've ever heard!!
