I fought the law and the law won

Was out joyriding on the motorbike I am planning to buy today when I got
pulled over by the cops for not wearing my helmet. Actually, I wasn't
really sure they were the cops, since they weren't wearing any uniforms,
and I nearly just drove on by, which I'm guessing would have made things
much worse. But they pulled me over and began to harrass me.
Eventually they 'impounded' the bike, which consisted of me hauling it
up into the flatbed of their pickup truck and driving to the police
station, where I commenced to have an interview with the local traffic
officer. I must be becoming more African because I was able to talk him
into dismissing one of the charges, rescue the bike from the impound,
and even drive it back home without my helmet. I am now a proud owner
of a ticket for 'cycling on a motor cycle without a crushed helmet'....
