Police

I think God's going to come down and pull civilization over for speeding.

The police pull people over for lots of reasons.  Speeding.  Broken tail lights.  Expired tags.  Reckless driving.  Not wearing seat belts.  

I like to think that they are trying to help us be safe and make the world safer for all of us.  That's what I like to think.

I also think that if you can answer the, "Do you know why I pulled you over," question you should get a percent off of whatever ticket you might receive.  Although maybe you should get money off if you don't know what you were doing because that implies you didn't mean to.

I haven't really worked out the details of this idea.

But not too long ago I saw a police car that had pulled over a hearse.  I like to think that when the officer got up to the driver's window he asked, "So, what's your hurry?"
