Might be a re-post, but tho... 
Speeding - Good, Better and Best
GOOD: Wexford: Garda Traffic Corps had a perfect spot to watch for
speeders, but weren't getting many. Then they discovered the problem - a
12-year-old boy was standing up the road with a hand painted sign, which
read SPEED TRAP AHEAD'. The garda also found the boy had an accomplice who
was down the road with a sign reading 'TIPS' and a bucket full of money
(And we used to just sell strawberries!)
BETTER: A motorist was mailed a photo of his car speeding through an
automated speed check on the N4. A 80 speeding ticket was included.
Being cute, he sent the gardai a photo of 80. The Gardai responded with
another mailed photo of handcuffs.
BEST: A Young woman was pulled over for speeding. A Traffic Corps Garda
walked to her car window, flipping open his ticket book, she said, 'I bet
you are going to sell me a ticket to the Garda Traffic Department Ball.'
He replied, 'The Garda Traffic Department don't have balls......' There was a
moment of silence. He then closed his book, got back in his patrol car and
left.
