The Importance of Being Frank

Had my second ever run in with the law on the way back from a dinner in which I introduced SarahK to my friends. An officer pulled me over, and here is the transcript:

OFFICER: Do you know why I pulled you over?

ME: The Krispe Kreme just closed down for the night and you're bored?

OFFICER: Do you know what the speed limit is on Wickham Road?

ME: No, I usually drive too fast to be able to read the signs.

OFFICER: It's 40mph. You were going 53.

ME: Well, @%#$! It's great you stopped me, copper. I could have taken out half the county with such dangerous driving.

OFFICER: Didn't you see me on the median with the radar gun?

ME: No, but I thought I smelled bacon.

OFFICER: So what's your previous driving record?

ME: I have a couple of citations for running over dumbass cops.

OFFICER: I'll need your licenses and registration.

I fling that in his face and he goes back to his car. After a couple minutes...

ME: You fall asleep back there? Let's get this moving.

He walks back to my car.

OFFICER: Since you were honest with me, I've decided to just give you a warning.

ME: A warning? Is that like a threat? You threaten me and I'll cut you!

I then screeched my tires as I sped off.

(NOTE: Only the officer's dialogue was real. I think he gave me a break because I was so sincere/clueless. Also, I had a cute passenger.)
