It's already a week ago I did a post about a short vacation I had in France.
The first half of it I spent in the South. The second part was in the Burgundy,
where I have been living for 12.5 years.
Again, some pics to give you an impression.
Strange headtitle, looking at those pics above, don't you think?
Yes indeed, but it doesn't end here.
Because when I left, going back to The Netherlands, not even being
an hour on the highway, I saw this.
Half an hour later I was pulled over by the Gendarmerie (French police).
I was taken out my car and be told to put my hands on the hood of my car.
The police Officer said:
'Sir, the reason I stopped your vehicle is you were going 67 miles over the posted speed limit. And it took me miles to catch up to you.'
With my most innocent face I looked at the Officer and said:
'I'm sorry Officer, but there's a real good reason why I was speeding'.
A bit annoyed the Officer looked at me and said:
'Sir, I've already heard them all, all those made up excuses and pull punches. So, give me just one real good reason and I will let you off with a warning.'
So, even more innocent looking I explained:
'A few years ago my wife ran off with a police Officer. And when I saw you in my rearview mirror, I totally panicked. I thought you were bringing her back.'
A big smile appeared on the officer's face, as he said:
'Have a nice day Sir ..., watch your speed and drive home safely!'
