Short Shrift Sunday #6

So, Maxine was driving down the highway about 80 miles an hour when she noticed a motorcycle cop following her. Instead of slowing down, Maxine puts the pedal to the metal.

My favorite word today is overhead. Adj., what was that you said? Def.: A person is talking to you but looking for someone more interesting.
