Adding Insult To Injury
IllustrationStory★★★★A Michigan state trooper pulled over a speeder one cold evening in January, and after getting the driver’s license from him, went back to his vehicle to write the ticket, which amounted to more than one hundred dollars. After he finished and was leaving his car to give the ticket to the driver, the trooper absent-mindedly pushed the lock down and shut the door. Suddenly he realized that he was on the side of the highway in subfreezing weather and was locked out of his car. So the trooper did the only thing he could. He walked up to the driver and said, “Here’s your ticket. This is your court date. You need to slow down. And could I please have a ride to the Patrol Station?”
The point
A state trooper writing a speeding ticket accidentally locks himself out of his patrol car on a freezing night and must ask the speeder for a ride to the station.
