Things Not to Say to a Police Officer

I can't reach my license unless you hold my beer.

Sorry, Officer, I didn't realize my radar detector wasn't plugged in. 

Aren't you the guy from the Village People? 

Hey, you must've been doin' about 125 mph to keep up with me. Good job! 

Are You Andy or Barney? 

I thought you had to be in relatively good physical condition to be a police officer. 

You're not gonna check the trunk, are you?

I pay your salary!

Gee, Officer! That's terrific. The last officer only gave me a warning, too!

Do you know why you pulled me over? Okay, just so one of us does. 

I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I know there are no other cars around. That's how far ahead of me they are. 

There are teachers and then there are TEACHERS.

According to a radio report, a middle school in Oregon was faced with a unique problem. A number of girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.

 Finally the principal decided that something had to be done.  She called all the girls into the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night. To demonstrate how difficult it was to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to clean one of the mirrors. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it into the toilet and then cleaned the mirror.

Since then there have been no lip prints on the mirror.

Remember in prayer the many who are sick of our community.

Say "hell" to someone who doesn't care much about you.
