A friend of mine worked as a
State Highway patrolman in Wyoming for several years. Whenever he
pulled someone over for speeding, he would always ask them why
they were exceeding the speed limit. If the excuse was original,
he would usually let them off with a warning. He said the best
excuse he ever got was the following: Him: "So, why is it
that you were doing 70 mph in a 55 zone?"
Driver: "Well, officer, my wife is going to get pregnant in
30 minutes and I want to be there when it happens."
