Margaret rolled down her window and smiled sweetly at the young officer. \u201cMa\u2019am, do you know how fast you were going?\u201d he asked. \u201cOh, son, at my age, I don\u2019t even check the speedometer. I just keep up with traffic.\u201d The officer sighed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no traffic.\u201d She grinned. \u201cWell then, I must be winning!\u201d When asked for her license,\u2026<\/p>\n
Margaret rolled down her window and smiled sweetly at the young officer.<\/p>\n
\u201cMa\u2019am, do you know how fast you were going?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, son, at my age, I don\u2019t even check the speedometer. I just keep up with traffic.\u201d<\/p>\n
The officer sighed. \u201cThere is no traffic.\u201d<\/p>\n
She grinned. \u201cWell then, I must be winning!\u201d<\/p>\n
When asked for her license, Margaret dug through her purse\u2014tissues, candies, even an old coupon\u2014but no license.<\/p>\n
\u201cI must have left it at home,\u201d she said, then added, \u201cBut I don\u2019t really need one.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy not?\u201d the officer asked.
\nShe leaned in. \u201cBecause I don\u2019t technically own this car.\u201d<\/p>\n
Within minutes, backup arrived. A senior officer approached and asked for ID. Margaret calmly handed over a valid license.
\n\u201cThis is your car, ma\u2019am,\u201d he said, confused.
\n\u201cOf course it is,\u201d she replied.<\/p>\n
The first officer stammered, \u201cBut you said you stole it!\u201d<\/p>\n
Margaret smiled. \u201cAnd I bet I never told you I was speeding either.\u201d
\nShe drove off, chuckling, \u201cWorks every time.\u201d
\nLater, a man rushed into a police station in tears.
\n\u201cMy wife is missing!\u201d he cried.<\/p>\n
The sergeant asked questions\u2014height, weight, eye color\u2014but the man barely knew.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat car was she driving?\u201d the sergeant asked.
\n\u201cMy Jeep!\u201d the man sobbed, then listed every detail of it.<\/p>\n
The sergeant handed him a tissue. \u201cDon\u2019t worry\u2026 we\u2019ll find your Jeep.\u201d<\/p>\n
