Talking Women

A friend Rich, in his seventies, and his wife visited friends in St. Louis last month. 

They decided to drive to an attraction. Rich drove, accompanied by his wife and her two friends. Rich stopped when he saw the cop lights flashing behind him.

"Did you know you went through a red light?" said the cop.

"No, said Rich. I was distracted trying to find the right turnoff."

"I'll bet that the women were all talking when you were trying to find the turnoff."

"Yes, sir."

The cop walked to the rear window. "I'm going to give all three of you a ticket for distracting the driver." 

Their shock melted away when the cop smiled.

No ticket.

I haven' t been so lucky lately.
