Email of the week...

An older lady got pulled over for speeding...as they sometimes do!

Lady: Is there a problem, Officer?

Officer: Ma'am, you were speeding.

Lady: Oh, I see.

Officer: Can I see your license please?

Lady: I'd give it to you but I don't have one.

Officer: Don't have one?

Lady: Lost it, 4 years ago for drunk driving.

Officer: I see. Can I see your vehicle registration papers please.

Lady: I can't do that.

Officer: Why not?

Lady: I stole this car.

Officer: Stole it?

Lady: Yes, and I killed and hacked up the owner.

Officer: You what?

Lady: His body parts are in plastic bags in the trunk if you want to see.

The Officer looks at the woman and slowly backs away to his car and calls for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun.

Officer #2: Ma'am, could you step out of your vehicle please! The woman steps out of her vehicle.

Lady: Is there a problem sir?

Officer #2: One of my officers told me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner.

Lady: Murdered the owner?

Officer #2: Yes, could you please open the trunk of your car, please.

The woman opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty trunk.

Officer #2: Is this your car, ma'am?

Lady: Yes, here are the registration papers.

The officer is quite stunned.

Officer #2: One of my officers claims that you do not have a driving license.

The woman digs into her handbag and pulls out a clutch purse and hands it to the officer.

The officer examines the license. He looks quite puzzled.

Officer #2: Thank you ma'am, one of my officers told me you didn't have a license, that you stole this car, and that you murdered and hacked up the owner.

Lady: Bet the liar told you I was speeding, too.

A vast new world to defile!

Today was a first on the Crane blog. I got a long comment on a previous post in Russian, Ukranian or some $hit. Since I don't practice safe cyber security, I clicked on the link and it took me to a Russian news video. Then, low and behold, Google toolbar offered to translate it for me. I want you to know, when it translated the written dialog for me, I really felt like I was a hot-$hit computer super guru...

Needless to say, I don't understand Russian, nor do I plan to learn their language. I do find it quite empowering to know what people in other countries say about us. A whole new door has opened for me... Lord help us...

Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
