I see why i was the only person to comment on this teaser. Id deserves a no comment
No I like this one. Good job.
Good job my foot....I won't continue as I know it'll be deleted.
I would accept the ticket too...just to prove that my clapped out old car could reach those speeds...lol
hey A N D Y, why did u start in the first place?
Good quiz! I actually got it right, too!
jeez, for being a not commenter, this is certainly getting a lot of comments
I must say I was a little disappointed when I read the answer. I was sure she was abducted by aliens and wanted the cops help or something,or she was an alien an the ticket was a souvenir of her trip to earth. oh well good teaser anyway
I got this one wrong ... But oh well! Great teaser!
good one. it has to have you thinking.
Very noble woman, no?
I thought the cop was her son, and she didn't want him to get in trouble. Same idea!
How did I not figure that out. This was fun!
I figured the cop had already made her late for work, and she was just about one tardy away from being fired. Having a ticket to show would lend credence to her story of being stopped.
That's cute.
