The Ticket

(This one is true in the sense that I really did deliver this just as described – and paid the consequences…)

I walked in the other day and slammed my purse on the table. “Goddammit!”

My family jumped.

“What happened?” groaned my husband, no doubt imagining our insurance rates going up.

“I got a ticket!” I moaned.

“Oh no! What did you do?”

“It really wasn’t my fault! I was drive down the street and of all things, a bird hit my windshield. Bam! Just like that! But then its wing got stuck in the wiper blade. It was awful. The poor thing was flapping around and I couldn’t get it off. So I started the windshield wipers and it goes up and down. I’m trying not to crash. Finally it came free, sailed over the top of my car and right smack into the windshield of the police car that was just behind me. That’s when he pulled me over.”

“What?!?” My husband was really steamed. “That doesn’t make any sense! What did he give you a ticket for?”

“Flipping him the bird,” I said.
