Copping it Sweet
- You know, stop lights don't come any redder than the one you just went through.
- Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they're new. They'll stretch after you wear them a while.
- If you take your hands off the car, I'll make your birth certificate a worthless document.
- If you run, you'll only go to jail tired.
- Can you run faster than 1200 feet per second? Because that's the speed of the bullet that'll be chasing you.
- You don't know how fast you were going? I guess that means I can write anything I want to on the ticket, huh?
- Yes, sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don't think it will help. Oh, did I mention that I'm the shift supervisor?
- Warning! You want a warning? O.K, I'm warning you not to do that again or I'll give you another ticket.
- The answer to this last question will determine whether you are drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?
- Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you go to ride on rides, eat cotton candy and corn dogs and step in monkey shit.
- Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster oven.
- In God we trust; all others we run through NCIC.
- Just how big were those "two beers" you say you had?
- No sir, we don't have quotas anymore. We used to, but now we're allowed to write as many tickets as we can.
- I'm glad to hear that the Chief of Police is a personal friend of yours. So you know someone who can post your bail.
- You didn't think we give pretty women tickets? You're right, we don't... Sign here.
Teacher's Pet Hate
- Since my last report, your child has reached rock bottom and has started to dig.
- I would not allow this student to breed.
- Your child has delusions of adequacy.
- Your son is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.
- Your son sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.
- The student has a 'full six-pack' but lacks the plastic thing to hold it all together.
- This child has been working with glue too much.
- When your daughter's IQ reaches 50, she should sell.
- The gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming.
- If this student were any more stupid, he'd have to be watered twice a week.
- It's impossible to believe the sperm that created this child beat out 1,000,000 others.
- The wheel is turning but the hamster is definitely dead.

CDC Medical Alert
The Centre for Disease Control has issued a medical alert about a highly contagious, potentially dangerous virus that is transmitted orally, by hand, and even electronically.
This virus is called Weekly Overload Recreational Killer (WORK).
If you receive WORK from your boss, any of your colleagues or anyone else via any means whatsoever - DO NOT TOUCH IT!!! This virus will wipe out your private life entirely. If you should come into contact with WORK you should immediately leave the premises.
Take two good friends to the nearest liquor store and purchase one or both of the antidotes - Work Isolating Neutralizer Extract (WINE) and Bothersome Employer Elimination Rebooter (BEER). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system.
You should immediately forward this medical alert to five friends. If you do not have five friends, you have already been infected and WORK is, sadly, controlling your life. Get help immediately.

Gynaecological Exam
A beautiful woman visited a gynaecologist. The doctor took one look at the gorgeous woman and his professionalism flew out the window. He immediately asked her to undress.
After she disrobed the doctor began to stroke her thigh. While doing so he asked her, "Do you know what I am doing?"
"Yes," she replied, "You are checking for abrasions or dermatological abnormalities."
"That's right," said the doctor.
He then began to fondle her breasts. "Do you know what I am doing now?" he asked.
"Yes," she said, "You are checking for lumps that might indicate breast cancer."
"Correct," replied the shady doctor.
Finally, he mounted his patient and started having sexual intercourse with her. He asked, "Do you know what I am doing now?"
"Yes," she said, "You're catching herpes, which is why I came here In the first place."

Father and Son
A little boy got on the bus, sat next to a man reading a book, and noticed he had his collar on backwards.
The little boy asked the man why he wore his collar backwards.
The man, who was a priest, said, "I'm a Father."
The little boy replied, "My father doesn't wear his collar like that."
The priest looked up from his book and answered, "I am the Father of many."
The boy said, "My dad has four boys, four girls and two grandchildren and he doesn't wear his collar that way!"
The priest, growing impatient, said. "I am the Father of hundreds", and went back to reading his book.
The little boy sat quietly thinking for a while, then leaned over and said, "Maybe you should wear a condom, and put your pants on backwards instead of your collar."

Wisdom of the Aged
A lawyer and a senior citizen are sitting next to each other on a long flight.
The lawyer thinks that seniors are so dumb that he could easily get one over on the old codger.
So the lawyer asks if the senior would like to play a fun game.
The senior is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and tries to catch a few winks.
The lawyer persists saying that the game is a lot of fun. I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me only $5. Then you ask me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500, he says.
This catches the senior's attention and to keep the lawyer quiet, he agrees to play the game.
The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the Earth to the Moon?"
The senior doesn't say a word, but reaches into his pocket, pulls out a five-dollar note, and hands it to the lawyer.
Now it's the senior's turn. He asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?"
The lawyer uses his laptop and searches all references he could find on the Net.
He sends e-mails to all the smart friends he knows; all to no avail. After an hour of searching, he finally gives up.
He wakes the senior and hands him $500. The senior pockets the $500 and goes right back to sleep. The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the senior up and asks, "Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?"
The senior reaches into his pocket, hands the lawyer $5 and goes back to sleep.

Aboriginal Meteorology
It was April and the Aborigines in a remote part of the Northern Territory asked their new elder if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild.
Since he was an elder in a modern community he had never been taught the old secrets. When he looked at the sky he couldn't tell what the winter was going to be like. Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he told his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the tribe should collect firewood to be prepared. However, being a practical man, after several days he had an idea. He walked out to the telephone booth on the highway, called the Bureau of Meteorology and asked, "Is the coming winter in this area going to be cold?"
The meteorologist responded, "It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold."
So the elder went back to his people and told them to collect even more wood in order to be prepared.
A week later he called the Bureau of Meteorology again. "Does it still look like it is going to be a very cold winter?"
The meteorologist again replied, "Yes, it's going to be a very cold winter."
The elder again went back to his community and ordered them to collect every scrap of firewood they could find.
Two weeks later the elder called the Bureau again. "Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?" he asked.
"Absolutely," the man replied. "It's looking more and more like it is going to be one of the coldest winters ever."
"How can you be so sure?" the elder asked.
The weatherman replied, "Our satellites have reported that the Aborigines in the north are collecting firewood like crazy, and that's always a sure sign."
