I got a ticket today. Pulled over by the State Troopers.
Not for going too fast or otherwise causing mayhem on the normal order of society, but, get this...my plates have been expired SINCE FEBRUARY.

I've taken that car over 15,000 miles SINCE FEBRUARY and no trooper has ever noticed.

Way to look alive, guys. Maybe put down the donut and keep an eye out next time.

(How's that for blame shifting?)

3. I went almost a whole year on expired tags, once.
In Maryland. This was many years ago. Never got pulled over.

4. Freaking incompetent cops. Maybe if they had put down the Tasers
for a second, they could have stopped a lawbreaker like you.

5. Little known fact....
that my Hubby found out last year.

You know the supposed 'grace period' between the person's birthday and the day an extra fee will be added to get the sticker?

It actually means nada, you can still get a fat ticket after the birthday.

Damn it, honey! I like blame shifting, too. ;)
