"Do you have a
problem?" I ask.
"Yeah, why are you driving like an idiot?"

"So, you measured my speed by ear?"
"How fast did you HEAR me going?"
"Look," she says, "I don't have to take this. Here comes a
cop. l'll wave him down."
THE POLICE? This woman is a trip. She waves
him down,
and proceeds to tell him that she observed me
speeding.
"What happened?" he asks. I told him the story, and told
him that I accelerated to an
indicated 33 mph (the speed
limit is 35) to avoid a collision.
"Are those mufflers legal?" Ethel asks.
She's pushing it. I reply, "I have a C.A.R.B. exemption for
them." I give the paperwork to the cop.
