Driver Speeding Ticket Stories

I couldn't find the "good" story in the archives, but as one of the commenters pointed out, "better" and "best" are listed as Cuff Linked and Great Balls of Misfire.

The second story reminds me of a legend about Till Eulenspiegel, who stayed in an inn to have a drink and get warm. When he was about to leave, the innkeeper wanted to charge him for the smell of the roast hanging over the open fire. Till Eulenspiegel took out a coin, let it fall on the table, pocketed it again and told the keeper that the sound of the coin was his payment for the smell of the roast.
