Overheard

I overheard a really funny thing at the bagel shop this morning.

There were a bunch of cops from Montgomery County, Maryland having breakfast in the shop, and one of them was telling the others about someone they all knew who is part of a caravan from Montgomery County to the Gulf Coast. He said there were about 30-40 cop cars and paramedics from this area headed down there.

But that’s not the funny part.

The funny part is that all these cars are caravaning through Virginia, and a Virginia state trooper stopped them. All of them. He told them that they were driving too slow — that they couldn’t drive 58 in the left lane in a 65 speed zone. Apparently, there was a bit of an argument, and the Maryland cops just all got in their cars and left.

Then when they got to Tennessee, a Tennessee state trooper contacted them by radio, learned what they were doing, and escorted them all the way through the state.
