Bluerauder

Well, technically the Son of Bluerauder (S.O.B.) was driving. He was at the house visiting and offered to drive the wife’s ’06 Freestyle across town. He likes all the electronic bells and whistles on it … especially the Navigation System. Mom just kicks back to enjoy the drive. :up:
About halfway there, a county police car pulls up behind him and hits the red and blues. He pulls over and the officer approaches the car. “Know why I pulled you over”. SOB replies, “I don’t even have a clue”. “Driver’s license and registration, please !!” He pulls out his driver’s license while Mom is fishing in the glove compartment for the registration….. 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 ….. “I can’t seem to find it” she says. The officer says … “I am not surprised ‘cause it is not there – I already checked”. :o
That’s right folks … her registration had expired back in January 2007 and nobody knew it. I thought she was on a 2-year cycle; and never noticed the ’07 sticker. The renewal form was sitting in her stack of “stuff” and was never sent in. :( Now, she has new plates. They wouldn’t even renew the old ones since it had lapsed so long. To be honest, they needed to be replaced anyway since they were 17 years old and probably not too reflective anymore. That may have been what called the police attention to the car anyway because the plate is even of a different number-lettering style than now.
The worst part is that the S.O.B. got the ticket and a court date. :eek: I guess a warning wasn’t in the cards. He ain’t happy with Mom. I am just chuckling over this … ‘cause I’ve been waiting 32 years for something I can bug her on. Sometimes you just gotta be patient and wait. :rofl:
The best part is that this resets my Oh ***** meter to "zero". Good thing too 'cause I was about ready to roll over 10K. :D
BTW -- the Marauder is good until August 2008. I checked :razz:
