Tell me a lie.

Ask a lawyer what that really means. I have a friend that is a judge and he tells me the worse thing that a lawyer can say to him is this line. I asked him why and he told me. Maybe it only means what he says it does in my part of the country, but if what he says is true about this line, it's very offensive.
 

I could never put them all on this forum. I have heard hundreds and maybe thousands. I never knew what I was going to be told when I asked the two most common questions by a cop; What's the hurry? Why did you do it? You can fill in the blanks, but I am warning you, I have probably heard it.

I stopped a speeder on the interstate maybe 10 years back doing 88 in a 65 zone. I walked up to the car and before I even asked for his license and so forth, he blurts out that his wife is having a baby. I looked in his vehicle expecting to see a lady lying on the back seat, but no one was there. I said that no one was there and then I asked him if he left her at home? He said no, man, she's at the hospital waiting for me to get there before the delivery. I told him I would give him an escort, but I was going to verify his story and if he was lying, he was going to be in deep 'you know what.' We got to the hospital a few miles away and I went upstairs to maternity with him and luckily for him he was truthful. I felt sort of crappy for doubting him, so I took up a collection at the barracks from the other officers because they looked like a young couple starting out and just to give back a little for being a turd myself. I gave it to the nurse and asked her to give the couple the envelope with the card and money in it. I did find out that they were pretty low on funds, so it was a help, I'm sure. We got a phone call later thanking us. It was nice.
