A police officer pulls over a speeding car. The officer says, " I clocked you at 80 miles per hour, sir."
The driver says, " Gee, officer I had it on cruise control at 60, perhaps your radar gun needs calibrating."
Not looking up from her knitting the wife says: " Now don't be silly dear, you know that this car doesn't have cruise control. "
As the officer writes out the ticket, the driver looks over at his wife and growls,
" Can't you please keep your mouth shut for once? "
The wife smiles demurely and says, " You should be thankful your radar detector went off when it did. "
As the officer makes out the second ticket for the illegal radar detector unit, the man glowers at his wife and says through clenched teeth, " Damn it, woman, can't you keep your mouth shut? "
The officer frowns and says, " And I notice that you're not wearing your seat belt, sir. That's an automatic $75 fine. "
The driver says, " Yeah, well, you see officer, I had it on, but took it off when you pulled me over so that I could get my license out of my back pocket. "
The wife says, " Now, dear, you know very well that you didn't have your seat belt on. You never wear your seat belt when you're driving. "
And as the police officer is writing out the third ticket, the driver turns to his wife and barks, " WHY DON'T YOU PLEASE SHUT UP?? "
The officer looks over at the woman and asks, " Does your husband always talk to you this way, Ma'am? "
"Only when he's been drinking."
