The Chief frowned. “And you also told him your license was suspended?”
She smiled even wider. “Absolutely.”
The Chief turned to the stunned officer. “That’s not what I’m seeing here.”
The officer, now bright red, said, “She told me she didn’t have a license, that her license was suspended, and that the car was stolen!”
The woman let out a little chuckle and patted the Chief’s arm.
“Well, of course I did. I figured if I told him all that, he’d be too shocked to give me a speeding ticket for going 65 in a 40.”
There was a long pause.
Then the Chief burst out laughing. One by one, the other officers started laughing too.
He handed her documents back and said, “Ma’am, that’s the most creative excuse I’ve heard all week. Slow it down on the road, okay? Bingo will still be there.”
She winked, started the engine, and said, “Oh, I know, dear. But those ladies play ruthless.”
And with that, she drove off at a perfectly legal 40 mph…
…already planning her next “incident” for next week’s bingo night.
