A police officer pulls over a speeding car. The officer says "Our patrol helicopter clocked you at 80 mph, sir." The driver says, "Gee officer. I had it on cruise control at 60. Perhaps your radar needs calibrating." Not looking up from her knitting the wife says sweetly. "Now don't be silly dear. You know that this car doesn't have cruise control." As the officer writes out the ticket, the driver looks over at his wife and growls, "Can't you keep your mouth shut for once?"The wife smiles demurely and says "Your should be thankful your radar detector went off when it did." As the officer makes out the second ticket for the illegal radar detector unit, the man glowers at his wife and says through clenched teeth, "Dammit woman. Can't you keep your mouth shut." The officer frowns and says, "And I notice that you're not wearing your seat belt sir. That's an automatic $75 fine." The driver said " Yeah, well you see officer, I had it on, but took it off when you pulled me over so that I could get my license out of my back pocket."The wife says "Now dear you know very well that you didn't have your seat belt on. You never wear your seat belt when you're driving." And as the police officer is writing out the third ticket and driver turns to his wife and barks, "WHY DON'T YOU SHUT THE HELL UP???"The officer looks over at the woman and asks, "Does your husband always talk to you this way, ma'am?""Oh heavens no officer. Only when he's been drinking.
