“Ah”

A motorcycle police officer stops a driver for shooting through a red light

The driver is a real bast..., steps out of his car and comes striding toward theofficer, demanding to know why he is being harassed by the Gestapo!

So the officer calmly tells him of the red light violation

The motorist

instantly goes on a tirade, questioning the officer's ancestry, se..al

orientation, etc., in rather explicit offensive terms.

The tirade goes on without the officer saying anything.

When the officer finishes writing the ticket he puts an “AH” in the lower

right corner of the narrative portion of the ticket

He then hands it to

The ‘violator' for his signature

The guy signs the ticket angrily, and

when presented with his copy points to the “AH” and demands to know

what it stands for.

The officer says, “That's so when we go to court, I'll remember that you're

an a...ole!”

Two months later they're in court

The ‘violator' has a bad driving record

with a high number of points and is in danger of losing his license, so he hired a lawyer to represent him.

On the stand the officer testifies to seeing the man run through the red light..

Under cross examination the defense attorney asks; “Officer is this a

reasonable facsimile of the ticket that you issued to my client?”

Officer responds, “Yes, sir, that is the defendant's copy, his signature and

mine, same number at the top.”

Lawyer: “Officer, is there any particular marking or notation on this ticket

you don't normally make?”

“Yes, sir, in the lower right corner of the narrative there is an “AH,”

underlined..”

“What does the “AH” stand for, officer?”

“Aggressive and hostile, Sir.”

“Aggressive and hostile?”

“Yes, Sir.

“Officer, are you sure it doesn't stand for a...ole?”

Well, sir, you know your client better than I do.
