Pulled over

The remainder of the family in SC went to the soccer game tonight, Tim,Pam ,John and myself. We enjoyed some food, stories and lots of laughter. The game was pretty good too, 2-nil to our home team.

After we dropped John off in Hanahan we just cruised down North Rett in the SS. And what do you know, we get pulled over.

Jonas; Is he pulling you over Tim?

Tim; I guess so.

Pam from the backseat: TIM! What did you do now? Run a red light?

Tim; Shut up Pam!

Jonas; Man, you even used the blinker, this is odd.

At this point the officer is out, gets the flashlight on and tip toes up towards our driver side door.

Police; Hey there... young man.

Tim; Officer.

Police; This is a very fast car but did you realize you were going 6 miles over the speed limit?

Tim; No, I was?

Police; Yes, you have a good night.

Tim; Thank you officer, you too. I appreciate it.

I have never seen a person being more relieved of the sight of Tim. The poor officer was so nervous walking up that all of us saw and felt it. We also could hear the sigh of relief out of the officers mouth when she saw that a white bald guy in his sixties was driving.

I guess that's out of the norm of people driving a black Chevrolet Impala SS with dark tinted windows down North Rhett Boulevard on a Saturday night. I'm glad we made her night.
