My run in with the law

Several months ago, driving a yellow cab, I was in the meat packing area dropping off a fare. A block away, I get to a stop sign and count up to two one thousand and proceeded. Before I knew it, sirens were wailing and I was ordered to pull over to the side of the road. This was my first encounter with the traffic police. The two cops came to both sides of the car with torches to my face. That was humiliating.

As they asked for my license and trip sheet, my fare decided to jump out but not before being given the go ahead and wishing me luck.

cop: do you know why we stopped you?
cabbie: no I don't know why officer tyronne.
cop: you ran through the stop sign.
cabbie: No officer tyronne I counted up to 3 one thousand.
cop: you did not, you went straight through.
cabbie: I am sorry officer tyronne, I thought I stopped.

By the time I said officer the fifth time, his mouth had curled, just about to crack a smile.

cop: you know what, I will let this slide but dont do this again.
cabbie: I am sorry officer.
cop: and stop with the flirting too.
cabbie: thank you officer tyronne and have a good one.

That was a breeze, I couldnt believe it। I am not sure if I thought that was going to end up with cuffs, frisking or a high speed chase. I was just glad it was over.
