As the CHiP dismounts his motorcycle and strides purposefully towards the car (while removing his gloves, but not his sunglasses, of course), our heroine puts on her best smile and an earnest look. The CHiP stands next to the car, gloves tucked under his arm, and looks at her as only a motorcycle cop can. But before he can say anything, she exclaims, "Why officer! Did you pull me over so that you could sell me a ticket to the California Highway Patrolman's Ball?". The CHiP, not to be taken in by a coquetish smile, says, "Ma'am, California Highway Patrolmen have no balls," thinks about this statement for a moment, then strides back to his motorcycle and drives away without a further word. --- I got this from people who've probably never been near The Net, so it should be fairly original, especially as it was only 3rd hand from our heroine.
