Helpful Wife?
A man, seeing flashing red and blue lights in his rear view mirror, pulled to the side of the road. A few minutes later, a police officer approached the car.
“What’s the problem, Officer?” asked the man.
“You were going 75 miles an hour in a 55-mile hour zone. I’m afraid I’m going to have to ticket you.”
“No, sir,” countered the man. “I was going only a little over 60.”
“Oh, Harry,” interjected his wife, “You were going at least 80.”
Harry grimaced at his wife as the officer continued, “I’m also going to give you a ticket for a broken tail light.”
“Harry!” his wife complained, “you’ve known about that tail light for weeks!”
“And,” said the officer, “I’m also going to give you a citation for not wearing your seatbelt.”
“Oh,” explained Harry, “I just took it off when you were walking to the car.”
“Harry!” corrected his wife. “That’s not true! You NEVER wear your seatbelt.”
Harry turned and yelled at his wife, “For crying out loud! Will you shut up!!?”
The officer then asked the woman, “Does your husband often talk to you this way?”
“Oh, no, Officer. Only when he’s been drinking.”
