| My friend's husband, Ray, is a state
trooper and enjoys sharing the excuses people use when stopped
for speeding. One day, however, the tables were turned.
Ray maintains an aquarium of exotic fish, and a prized specimen
had threatened to turn belly up. The off-duty officer called
a pet store, and they advised him to immediately purchase
a special additive that would correct the water's pH. Ray
and his wife jumped into the car and rushed to the store.
A state trooper signaled them to pull over. "Go ahead,"
Ray's wife said. "Tell him you've got a sick fish!"
