It's amazing how much control the earlier, more animal parts of our brains and our glands have over behaviour. Fight, flight, eat, mate. It's a lot easier (to look at faces) now that the testosterone levels have decreased, though.

with the two Czech guys and who loved "Big American breasteseseses." (Most likely before your time.)

A couple of days ago I was getting out of my truck at the grocery store and some young guy rolls up, also in a truck, sporting a bumper sticker saying, "Show me your tits." For a second I thought seriously about complying and scarring the fucker for life (I'm 60 and things aren't as perky as they used to be).

As in, if you reply to the statement, the person sends you a private message telling you that you fell for the trap and now you need to post it on your own facebook page (which I did not do).

That's right, I fell for it and replied to her. But no way would I post it on my own facebook!

To PeaceNikki in post #45, Thor-MN in post #40, and others: you are most likely right, and I got suckered here. The woman who stated this (and it was on Facebook, which is a tool of the Devil) is attractive, kind of a flirt, and kind of a smart-ass, so I took her at her word that she used her looks to get out of a ticket.

To Mineral Man in post 23: Have women told me they used their looks or flirted their way out of a ticket? Yes, I've heard that and I'm surprised you have not. Have I heard it often? Not as often as when I was in my 20s and 30s and my female circle of friends was younger. I will add that I've also seen the reverse. Back in the early to mid 90s, there was a stretch of I-95 I commuted on every day, and an FHP officer that I got to recognize by sight that patrolled the stretch. If he had someone pulled over, the odds were that a) the one pulled over was female and b) the one pulled over was blonde.

To Control-Z in post 25: My point in posting was that I genuinely wondered how DUers would react -- would they find it funny? would they be annoyed that some can use their looks to get out of a ticket? would they see it as yet another indictment against the current state of policing. I never expected to get 44 responses -- most of which made me chuckle.
