Outrage!
By Grant Baciocco

“Well that is just absolutely insane.” Fumed Robert.  “What were you doing when they pulled you over?”

“I wasn’t doing anything.  The speed limit was 35, I was doing 30!” Roberta answered.  “I know for a fact that I was going that fast because I looked at the speedometer when he flipped on the lights!”

Robert shook his head.  “Well, I just don’t understand it.  A $250 ticket for nothing!”  Robert paced, wringing his hands together.  The wooden floor echoing each step.  “I know what I’ll do!  I’m going to meet with that officer! Get to the bottom of this!”
