A man and his wife are cruising up the highway when he looks up and sees blue flashing lights in his mirror. He pulls over, stops, rolls down his window and asks the patrolman what the problem is.
The cop says that he was doing 75 in a 55 mph zone. When he tells the officer that there must be a mistake because he was doing less than 65, his wife says, "Harry, don't lie. You know good and well that you've had the cruise control set on 75 for the last hundred miles." He gives his wife a dirty look,
whereupon the cop says, "Sure, buddy. I'm also going to cite you for a broken tail light." The man answers that he was unaware of the broken light and again his wife chimes in, "Harry, what kind of baloney is that? You've known about that light for four months ever since you backed into the mailbox and broke it.
" The guy then shoots his wife a very unpleasant glance along with a wicked frown. The policeman continues. "I'm not trying to be a hard apple here, but I must also write you up for not wearing a seatbelt." The driver replies, "Well, I was indeed wearing it, but I waited until the car was stopped before I took it off.
" His wife wasn't finished. "Harry, we've been married for forty years and I've never once seen you wear a seatbelt." Harry had had enough and blurted out, "Lord have mercy, woman! How about you just shut up?" The cop looks at her and says, "Ma'am, does your husband always talk to you like that?" The wife replies, "Oh no sir. Only when he's drunk."
