I was once cited for turning left at a green light into the inside lane while an oncoming car turned right at a green light into his inside lane. In other words, we started out coming at each other, then ended up driving alongside each other.

I took it to court. The citing officer showed up and spent twenty minutes trying to find the law he had written me up for as we all sat there in silence.

After an interminably long time he said "well, your honor, I'm sure it's in here somewhere" at which point the judge said "good enough for me."

I crossed my arms and signed. The judge said "do you want to spend the weekend in jail, young man?"

I would have said "absolutely, your honor, I'd love to see you explain this one" except I had to take the SAT the next day.

This entire string is hilarious as I'm standing in Penn Station in the midst of the most recent Police Academy graduating class.
