I think that > 25 over the speed limit = reckless driving. It's probably up to the officer whether he lets the driver slide or not. I saw my brother in law go to jail for doing 105 in a 55, but that was more than 20 years ago.
It's a very funny line though. |

Old woman drive down the road in GA & comes upon a young man standing on a bridge railing.
She asks, "Whatcha doin', sonny?" He replies, "I'm gonna jump & kill myself!" She says, "Oh, don't do that! Think of your family!" He says, "I have no family, no kids, my parents are dead." "Well," she says, "think of Robert E. Lee!" "Who's he?" he asks. "You goddamnyankee, JUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Sorry, that's my bad. I suggested that we do the same thing to the arabs in class and they stopped teaching it.

Sherman is no longer mentioned in schools. When they get around to talking about the War of Northern Agression they call it something else.

I know about THAT Sherman. I just didn't understand the connection between that guy and driving fast on the highway. By the way, I was home-schooled. |

A friend of mine returning from an away softball game in the Florida panhandle pulled over for a needed nap after a double-header and few 'mobile' cool ones. FHP trooper walks up to the open drivers window and taps my buddy on the shoulder.
Trooper: Son, what do ya think you're doing? Buddy (shaking head and still fuzzy): Fifty-five? Trooper (trying to stifle chuckles): Well son, why don't ya do fifty-five up to the Destin truck stop and grab some coffee. Have a safe trip. |

My grandfather was head of the design department of the Sherman tank. He was born and raised in Arkansas. When they asked him, "Colonel, as a son of the south, why on earth would you name this tank after Sherman?"
His response? "Well, Sherman won." ETA: Unsure whether the story about the name is true (it's something my mom told me years ago), but the part about my grandfather heading up the tank project is accurate.  )

Few years back, there was this high school buddy of mine who was a bit of a smartass (you know the type).
He was suffering from "two beer syndrome" and was speeding when THP (Tenn Hwy Patrol) pulled him over. THP: " Can I see your license and registration,please...." Buddy: " Can I see your gun?" Buddy then recalled somewhat of a rapid departure from his vehicle with the assistance of THP and a free ride to county lock-up. Methinks this probably would be something to avoid doing in GA too. |

I like to call it the Second War of Secession to my friends from the North. Pisses them off to no end.
