V  Let’s Talk
Speeding Ticket，
A policeman stops a driver and says to the driver,“Sir，you were speeding．Can I see your license¹，please?”The driver replies．“I don’t have one．”
“You don’t have one?”
The driver answers．“I lost it for drunk driving．”
The policeman is surprised．“I see．Will you show me your vehicle registration² papers．please?”
“I m sorry．I can’t do that．”
The policeman asks．“Why not?” 
“I stole this car．”
The Officer says，“Stole it?”   
The driver answers，“Yes，and I killed the owner．” 
The 0fficer is shocked．“You did what?”
“She’s in the trunk if you want to see．”
The officer is horrified³ and calls for backup．Within minutes，five police cars show up，surrounding the car．A police chief cautiously approaches the car，asking，“Sir，could you open the trunk of your car，please?”
The driver opens the trunk，revealing nothing but all empty trunk．
The chief says，“Is this your car，sir?”
The driver says“Yes．”and hands over the registration papers．
The 0fficer is quite surprised．“0ne of my 0fficers says you don’t have a driving license．”
The driver quickly produces his license．The chief examines it and finds nothing wrong．He looks puzzled．“Thank you，sir．One of my Officers told me you didn’t have a 1icense，stole this car，and murdered the owner．”
The man replies，“I bet the lying bastard⁴ told you 1 was speeding，too!”
