Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for March 19, 2010

That remark will cost you.

“Would you make it quick officer. I’m in a hurry”.

That one just might fly on certain days………………………….

musta had a tail wind.

Oh my gosh, you mean that sign back there that said 101 was a highway number and not the speed limit.

Knowing Chrysler products of that era as I do, it may well have been faster than the 120 mph speedometer would read!

At least they put 150 mph speedometers on the 300 letter series cars and they would run THOSE off the scale.

Andy Granatelli had a 300F that he ran 189.990 mph at Bonneville. All two and a half tons of it! And he was complaining about the salt being unusually slippery that day so he couldn’t really get the 300F up to speed!! And he drove it there from Los Angeles.

The speedometer hasn’t worked in years!

Oh Cosmo, I can see a heavy fine and possible jail time in your future.

Reminds me of Planes, Trains and Automobiles… lol

Maybe he was driving too slow.

Hey Cosmo—WRONG ANSWER!!!!! I hope Shoe pays you well or he can run ‘The TreeTop Tattler’ without you for thirty days. Who will look after ‘Skyler’, ‘Roz’;?

No Officer….If I knew how fast I was going, I wouldn’t have been going that fast.

No Officer, but could you tell the guy I’m trying to sell this to.

I’ve always wanted to say something like that, but the only opportunity I had, he didn’t ask.

whmlll – depends on the mood they’re in. Some cops have zero sense of humor

Yukoner - I love that one!

Irv musta finally fixed the clunker. And now, Cosmo’s unaccustomed to the car doing anything when he steps on the gas.

“Well officer, if you don’t know and I don’t know, how does anyone know if I was speeding?”

With that DeSoto, Cosmo might get cited for Exhibition Of Lack Of Speed, however.

Out of the car, sir! We’re going to administer a field sobriety test!

Cop: I’ve been waiting for you all day.

Driver: I got here as fast as I could.

Once when I was going down a country road early in the morning a cop pulled me over and asked that same question.

I told him that my speedometer was broken. When he peeked in at my speedometer, it indicated that I was going 40 mph. Then he indicated that I could have guessed how fast I was going by the wind noise through the open window. I told him that it was closed and he remembered that I rolled it down when he came up to it.

I’ll never be that lucky again. Just a warning.

When I saw the “Hot Now” light at the Krispy Kreme, I could hardly help myself.

Thanks goodness i’ts stopped. i was just taking this Toyota for a test drive, and… No, it’s a new luxury model with fins…

jt, the only thing NOT broken on my car is the speedometer so I guess I can’t use that one.

Try the old, “Have to go to the bathroom” one, Prof. a friend once tried it on cop, the cop said, “Wait a minute,” Went and got a plastic container from the cop car, handed it to my friend and said, ” Go behind that tree and fill it. We can use the evidence.” Local cops don’t get all the empathy training State boys do.

How could she cheat on SPIDER-MAN!? Sorry, they flashed another ad over the comix.

You need a Phantom (various models) by Rocky Mountain Radar. It’s a jammer. Never failed me yet. They can’t read your speed until your within 150 ft. of them.

I imagine he was going way too slow, however. That thing looks like it runs by winding up a rubber band.

My first Toy (‘80 Corolla) had the wrong twist of speedometer cable, and wound up showing about 90 off the curb.

The CHP and traffic school made me aware you don’t have to have a speedometer, but *do* need to keep aware of the traffic around you, and not scare the civilians.

A favorite bumper sticker:

“If you don’t like the way I drive, STAY OFF THE SIDEWALK!”

Cosmo is merely stating what we all wish we could say, and would if we were in a comic strip.
