Here's what happens when you don't live in a small town.

I'm cruising on the I-5 on the way to Seattle the other day in heavy traffic. All cars are going the same speed and I'm just in the row, travelling the same speed as everyone else.

This trooper suddenly comes up behind me, flashing his lights, and pulls me over. First question he asked was what year my Mercedes ML was. I told him "2007", and he said "nice". Then he told me he really liked the colour of my car. And then the ********* writes me a ticket for doing 70 in a 60mph zone.

I told him that I was just doing the same speed as everyone else, and that if I drove any slower in the traffic I would be a traffic hazard. He then calls me "a smart ass". I then asked if he intended to stop and ticket every last car on the highway. He says "maybe - maybe not". I then asked why he picked me and he replies "first come first served".

The ticket was a hundred bucks.
