Have you heard. this one? We
'heard .it third=hand , but believe
the facts--ate-reasonably correct
Seems that'a man who.is well
known' in this community was
returning by car with .his, wife
from a social, outing. Pressing
the accelerator a,bit hard, he
was stopped by .the police for : •
speeding.
.The police asked him if he hab
been drinking ,. and when he ..: :-
replied
replied that he had a '"couple
of beers" , . they suggested to him
that his wife had better. drive
Not wanting to argue with the'
sliong,arrtr of the law , he agreed,,
but failed;. to tell the officer that
phis wife did not have a licence:
Proceeding along the 'road, you
guessed it! The car was stopped by
a'second policeman who asked,
the lady driver, for her licence.
You can guess the rest. An attem-
pt and we understand .success-
ful'one ,.'was,rnade to explain ,
to the officer that she wouldn't
have been driving without •a- he
ence except at the insistence of
the first policeman up the road.
