Ostensibly true story heard on the radio this morning:

This lady was speeding down the freeway on the way to work and was pulled
of by a state trooper.  The trooper walked up to her window with his
ticket book in his hand and asked her ``Ma'am, do you know why you were
pulled over?'' She figured she was going to get a ticket anyway but it
never hurts to flirt a bit so she replied ``You wanted to invite me to the
Policemen's Ball?'' Without thinking the trooper retorted ``Ma'am, state
troopers don't have balls.'' About two seconds later he realised what he'd
said, folded up his ticket book, walked back to his car and drove away.
