It's been several months, but this is still a funny story.
I was driving to work around 5AM when red and blue flashing lights appeared in my rear view mirror. I knew I was speeding when I passed the patrol car but didn't think he'd have time to turn on me. I was right, and I was wrong. It wasn't who I expected, the short bald sergeant I'd seen parked on the side of the road. And clearly when the deputy poked his head inside my window I wasn't who he expected either.
"You dork!" was all he said. I feigned innocence but knew I'd been caught. I'd been driving 83mph in a 60mph zone. I guess I'd forgotten I was no longer on the freeway. "That's it, you owe me licorice!" And with that I was on my way.
I went to work by way of Walmart and bought a package of the softest Red Vine licorice I could find, then threw in a bag of Reese's Pieces to sweeten the deal.
