A FLORIDA DRIVER'S LICENSE IS ON THE WAY
Jessica Jackson, who was driving her pickup truck east on Highway 54
just before 8:50 a.m. Sunday, had her pants hanging out the window to
dry when the vehicle hit the highway shoulder...
(Thanks to queensbee, who notes that alcohol may have been involved)

I hate it when that happens.

Spilled her beer, too.

I've rolled the window down in the summer to dry my hair but I've never put clothing out the window to dry. Of course you could probably clip some of your 'dainties' to the radio antenna and they would dry pretty fast. If you got pulled over just tell them you're going green and saving energy.

.18? Yeah, I'd say alcohol was involved.
Jessica Jackson, who was driving her pickup truck east on Highway 54 just before 8:50 a.m. Sunday, had her pants hanging out the window to dry when the vehicle hit the highway shoulder, and Jackson overcorrected, according to the Wood County Sheriff's Department Accident Report. The pickup crossed the centerline, entered the ditch and rolled.
But she never lost her cell phone conversation.

Would it be a dumb question to ask how her pants got wet?

A cheesette with only a .18 blood alcohol? Must have been in a hurry to get to work or church or something. I would imagine that's what she told the state trooper anyway.

I got pulled over for driving with my airbag deployed.
It was really the girls.
I got no ticket.

Punkin, tell the truth. You NEVER get tickets, do ya?

Jessica Jackson..??!! Sounds like someone had a certain operation and the Chicago papers missed the story.

padraig, I've only had one ticket and it was from a woman cop. I was driving without my license one times, it had expired, and I got caught in a license check. When I got up to the very nice, male, policeman I started crying and told him ," Thank goodness I found you. I'm so lost! Can you please tell me how to get back to the highway?" He gave excellent directions and never did ask for my license. I got them renewed the next day. btw, I was only 2 miles from my house and I had lived there for 7 years.

You got it Jeff. My tall blonde sister-in-law knows that when she's pulled over by a (male) state trooper, proper procedure is to give him her license, registration, proof of insurance, and phone number, and she never pays a ticket.
