Balladeer took his gal for a drive, and were stopped by a police officer. The following exchange took place...

Balladeer: "What's the problem officer?  Have I done something wrong?"
Officer: "My radar says you were going 75 back in that posted 40 zone."
Balladeer: "No sir, I was going 65, and then I slowed way down."
Balladeer's Gal: "Oh, Balladeer. You were doing 80 all the way through town."

(Balladeer gives his gal a dirty look.)

Officer: "I'm also going to give you a ticket for your inoperative tail light."
Balladeer: "Broken tail light? I didn't know.  It must have happened tonight!"
Balladeer's Gal: "Oh Balladeer, you've known about that tail light for days."
Balladeer's Gal: "Remember how you said one was enough, it didn't matter anyway?"

(Balladeer gives his gal another dirty look.)

Officer: "I'm also going to give you a ticket for your seat belt being off."
Balladeer: "Oh, I just removed it after I obeyed your lights and stopped."
Balladeer's Gal: "Oh Balladeer, you never wear your seat belt. I know that for a fact."
Balladeer:  "SHUT YOUR MOUTH, WOMAN!  I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR GAFF".

Officer (turning to Balladeer's gal): "Ma'am, does Balladeer talk to you this way all the time?"
Balladeer's Gal: "No, Officer, only when he's very drunk, like he is tonight."


That gal of Balladeer's - always so friendly and helpful - heh heh

The officer then told deer he was writing him up for a 311...

deer asked him 'what's that?'

the officer said -- 'Driving under the influence'

To which deer replied 'Well you'd better make it a 622 cause I gotta drive home too..'

rotftl,
It's getting dangerous around all those flying words could hit someone you know.

Heather - Thank you for your support (and your warning).  Now I will know to tell Balladeer that YOU put me up to it (heh heh).

Hawk - lmao@311 - Leave it to 'Deer to get a head start on the evening festivities.

Corazon - Thank you for the encouragement.  Its nice to know somebody may feel a little more light hearted because of something I wrote.

Karilea - hmmmppphhh, rhyme?  I tought it was free verse (covering up for possible miscues).  naturally, I am also shocked at your harsh treatment of my lyrical attempts.  Tears are starting to flow at the thought of this harsh criticism.  Ohhh, Long John, you devil you.  Now lil Karilea will feel bad and really suck up to you.  Now, add something in here about trying to be better, and she'll go all to pieces.  Krailea, I've always tried to write well, but sometimes I can't find the spirit to do it.  Please forgive me *sniffles*  heh heh - now I'll get everytihng I deserve from lil Karilea, and she won't even realize that I manipulated her.  *more sniffles*

Oh 2 -  I write these stories to bring some levity to the Forums, as, often, we find ourselves reading more of heartache than of heart, and every soup needs some seasoning.  Especially when the world is on one's shoulders, laughter can lift the weight, if only a little, it is still lifted.

Kid - Yep - you gotta watch those mean ol' Librarians - they'll come over there and pull your plug - I'm glad you enjoyed.

'Deer!  It's good to see you back in here - and lookee!  All that time away from the Forums while you were going to school has done you some good - I see you are now up to two on those counting lessons - heh heh - BTW - Your reply is classic 'Deer - funny and filled with a true sense of wit - I'm still laughing - great response, you rascal.

Juls - Thank you for your support.  As for the beach   ~.  I was just gonna sit there and ogle you and Sven as you crooned and cooed.  Now I'll hafta sneak around behind the dunes and do it on the sly.  Perhaps if I wrote a "pretty" poem for you and Sven, it would make him change his mind???  *veg*

Kit - now why do I get itchy fingers when I write that name???  Thanks for the kudos - We DO have a good time in here sometimes, don't we?

WhtDove - I agree with your request, but we all know 'Deer to well to expect a humble confession.  Ohh, there'll be a confession, alright.  It just won't be humble - heh heh.
