My first run in with the law

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Not me, but a true story worth telling. I had a friend who was a Mississippi Highway Patrolman. One day he pulled over a man from Illinois who was speeding and wrote him a ticket. My MHP friend told him he would have to take care of the ticket before he left the state and that he would take him to the local Justice of the Peace, who lived way back in the sticks. They pulled up and the JP was sitting out on his front porch in his overalls. They had a little court and the JP fined the Illinois man. The Illinois man paid the fine and asked the JP for a receipt. The JP went into his house, tore a piece of paper out of a brown paper bag, wrote out a receipt and handed it to the Illinois man. My MHP friend said that the Illinois man stared at the receipt for a long time then said, "You know, I wouldn't take a million dollars for this."

If he was driving a Dodge Charger RT it was probably my Dad.
