Joke of the Week: Speeding Registration

On a long drive from Virginia, one man thought he was traveling at a reasonable speed, but the flashing blue lights in his rear-view mirror made him realize that he’d been over the limit. The man handed the officer his license and made small talk while his wife dug through the glove compartment for the registration.

"I'm usually very careful about my speed," the man told the officer as his wife handed over the paperwork.

The officer studied it and then gave it back. "Sir," he said gruffly, "this is not your registration."

It was a warning ticket he had received for speeding in Florida.
