A MATURE LADY GETS PULLED OVER FOR SPEEDING...


Older Woman: Is there a problem, Officer? Traffic Cop: Yes ma’am, I’m afraid you were speeding.


Older Woman: Oh, I see. Traffic Cop: Can I see your license please?


Older Woman: Well, I would give it to you but I don’t have one. Traffic Cop: Don’t have one?


Older Woman: No. I lost it 4 years ago for drunk driving.


Traffic Cop: I see...Can I see your vehicle registration papers. Older Woman: I can’t do that.


Traffic Cop: Why not? Older

Woman: I stole this car.

Traffic Cop: Stole it?


Older Woman: Yes, and I killed and hacked up the owner.


Traffic Cop: You what!?

Older Woman: His body parts are in plastic bags in the trunk if you want to see . . .


The traffic cop looks at the woman and slowly backs away to his car while calling for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun.


Officer 2: Ma’am, could you step out of your vehicle please!? The woman steps out of her vehicle.


Older woman: Is there a problem sir?

Officer2: My colleague here tells me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner.

Older woman: Murdered the owner? Are you serious!? Officer 2: Yes, could you please open the trunk of your car? The woman opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty trunk.


Officer2: Is this your car, ma’am?! Older woman: Yes, here are the registration papers.


Officer 2:Stunned says- My colleague claims that you do not have a driving license. The woman digs into her handbag and hands him her license. The officer examines the license quizzically.


Officer 2: Thank you ma’am, but I am puzzled, as I was told by my officer here that you didn’t have a license, that you stole this car, and that you murdered and hacked up the owner!!


Older Woman: Bet the lying bastard told you I was speeding , too!!

Trivia Answer

 The answer for the trivia question on our homepage is:

A. coral and limestone

Some islands are created by living organisms that begin to grow on the submerged portion of a larger land mass, usually a volcanic island. The skeletons of these organisms (mostly corals) grow together and get bigger and bigger until they rise above the water's surface and form a coral reef.

There are various types of reefs, including "barrier reefs" (which grow further out from land and create a barrier to a larger island), "fringing reefs" (which fringe the ring of an island's shoreline), and "atoll" (which are formed when the island land mass sinks, but the reef continues to grow and remains above the surface.)
