....NOT!!!!

Was out and about today and had to cross the Lanier Bridge a few times
on my day's adventures. Noted every time a State Trooper who was pulling
people over after they had exited the bridge (i.e. at the bottom of a
2000 or so foot long 6% grade - if you are not watching what you are
doing, you can be going a tad (or 2 or 3) over the limit. IOW, he was
running his very own ticket writing factory). I guess it is the end of
the year and quotas do have to be met....

Anyways, my last adventure of the day was in the evening after dark and
as I was on US17 South apporaching the bridge, Herr Trooper had just
finished up with his last victim and after I passed the area, he did a
u-turn and subsequently was pacing me at about 200ft or so - he in the
left lane, me in the proper right lane. The posted speedlimit is 50MPH
on the bridge and I was doing 45MPH. At the apex of the bridge, Senhor
Trooper is still pacing me, I shift the transmission from overdrive (the
(D) position) to regular drive (the D position) and back off the
throttle, maintinaing a perfect 45MPH (still 5MPH under the limit) down
the bridge with El Señor Trooper still pacing me before he decided to
speed up and pulled along side me at the bottom of the bridge where he
proceeded to do a median U-turn after passing the turn for the Jekyll
Island Causeway (funny that he couldn't use the intersection for his
maneuver, he had to do so in an odd place) and I went on my merry way,
keeping to five under the 55MPH limit as the GSP has been patrolling
this stretch of road rather heavily today.

<sarcasm> To Monsieur Trooper and all the other GSP'ers that were
prowling GA25 from IH95 to the Jekyll Causeway and into the Brunswick
City Limits: I am so very sorry for obeying the speed limit (and the
other traffic laws) and throwing a monkey wrench into your little money
making scheme (Allah as my witness, I love Cruise Control). Lord knows
you need the money to save up for one of those new Chargers your
coworkers are using (I noted you are still driving a Crown Vic) and also
to pay for the gas for same. I feel so terrible for depriving you of
that much needed revenue, so you can have the cool toy like your
buddies. I sincerely hope that my little stunt of obeying the traffic
laws doesn't keep you from meeting your quota as you did waste valuable
time crossing the bridge and making your dangerous U-turn to set up for
the next trap as I failed to spring this one. In the spirit of the
season, I refer you to the, "Life," section of The Brunswick News (the
local fishwrap); more specifically the, "Help Wanted," section with a
plethora of real jobs listed so that one day, you too can afford one of
those nice shiny new Dodges.

Unsincerely and in total Sarcasm,

necromancer
Who should probablly avoid that stretch of road for a while.....
