Blast! A stinking ticket!

[rickboone1]

So, I'm driving home today, going along, minding my own business just texting on my phone paying no mind to anyone. Out of nowhere I hear THUD! Squak flapflapflutter. Feathers are going everywhere! Big huge red spot on my windshield and a possible beak imprint. Yep, I done hit a bird. Well, I look in my rearview mirror and watch this bird fly over the top of my car to land just as hard on the hood of the car behind me. See you the bird go thud then woot woo. Blue lights. Oh, great. What the heck was I doing? I was in my lane and everything. So, I pull over, cop comes up and gives me a stinking ticket! I haven't had one in years. I said, what is this ticket for? The officer replied, disrepect. Huh? I'm sorry, sir, care to explain?



















Flippin' me the bird.

Good thing it was not a human. Texting while driving is various dangerous.

Texting while driving. I won't post what my thoughts are on that.

Ha! Well played. I'm an attorney who does a fair bit of traffic law and I was wondering what kind of weird laws you guys had out in SC that would get you a ticket for hitting a bird until I saw the punch line.

I didn't hit a bird, nor was I texting while driving.

I once hit a vulture in the hill country while going over a hill. The darn thing cracked my windshield.

I was so annoyed by the texting/driving reference that I never got to the punch line. So now I can add the deserved.......... bada-bing.

I used this joke on my wife and got slugged. I did not say it was a joke first.

She just told me that she used this joke on her coworkers, and her boss got rather pissed and red faced...and doubly so when told it was a joke!

Don't feel bad...I didn't get it either until I got a few posts down.

It's an illegal practice where I come from (and in many other countries) so at first I though that was what the ticket was for. On second reading I still thought that was what the ticket was for (the term "flipping the bird" isn't really used outside of North America).

This cultural difference is delightfully explored by a couple of fellow New Zealand compatriots (both of whom come from my fair city of Wellington) in this extract from their TV comedy series, The Flight of the Conchords
