true story-
It was May of 2004, and I was running radar on a suburban -type area street, which is pretty much surrounded by trees, deer, roadkill, and the occasional office-park.
I clocked a 1998 Mercedes- Benz going 50 mph in a 30 zone. I decided to pull the car over, and, to my amazement, a pretty good looking woman was driving the car. I thought she must have been an attorney, because most attorneys I know drive 1998 Benz's
I asked her for her drivers license and registration, and proceeded back to my vehicle to write her a ticket. I noticed that she had an Italian last name, and also noticed that she resides 1 block away from my old house, in North Buffalo, so I figured she was a local girl.
I wrote the ticket for speed in zone, and went back to her car. I asked her "do you know why I pulled you over ??" She replied, in a heavy Italian accent "I was going too fast". I then said to her in Italian "your from Italy ??", and she replied "yes, I am". I then asked her in Italian what the hell she was doing in Buffalo, and she must have noticed my Sicilian accent, or sensed the fact that I am an amateur when it comes to Italian, she replied in English that she is a doctor who moved to Buffalo a few years back from Rome.
I had to ask if she was a Juventina, and she replied that she is a Romanista. That didnt go over to well with me, and the sucker punch came next when she said Cassano should be included in the Euro squad. I hastily went to hand her the ticket when she said, "but my all time favorite player is Alessandro Del Piero, and I hope he does well in the Euro's".
All of the sudden, a stiff wind came along, and knocked the ticket out of my hand, and blew it away.........
Funny how things happen
