Diplomacy with the police II

My brothers psychology professor, a Yankees Yankee and a
feminists feminist, tells the following story on herself to illustrate
that doctorates dont necessarily make you smart.

She was driving to a workshop in Atlanta from her home in Ohio.
It was about 10 am, and shed been driving the entire preceding day and night
herself, and she was consequently not in the best of tempers as she searched
for a motel in which to crash.

A Georgia state policeman pulled her over, got out of his cruiser,
swaggered up to her drivers window, bent down, and drawled, Lookie here,
darlin,–uh oh, everybody duck–Lookie here, darlin, nobody blows
through Georgia that fast.

Said the feminist Yankee overtired psychology professor: Sherman did.

She says he was not satisfied merely to give her a speeding ticket;
he made her follow him fifty miles out of her way to Nowheresburg, GA, and
wait at the police station until three in the afternoon for a circuit judge
to arrive so that he could explain to her why it wasnt the best idea in
the world to be impolite to policemen, who were after all interested only
in creating the safest possible environment for everybody including her,
etc. etc. The lecture went on for about two hours, she says, after which
she was released to drive the fifty miles back to her route and resume her
search for someplace to crash.

True story–anyway, thats what my brother said.
