Dear all,
I think I've already mentioned what a magnet (=imán) I am for weird(=strange,bizarre) people.Last Saturday afternoon I was driving in a hurry doing 90mph in the freeway, since I had arranged to get together for lunch with some of my cousins in Alcalá de Henares and I was already late...as usual. I was driving past the fecalthlon (what else???) and got pulled over (=echado a un lado) by the police. This is the transcription of my conversation with the police,give or take a word or two:
POLICE: D'you know what the speed limit in the freeway is,right?
JAVIER: Yes, sir.I just oversped (=rebasé el límite) 5 mph.
POLICE: Why the hurry?(=¿a qué venía tanta prisa?)
JAVIER: I know you hear this everyday,sir,but I was on my way to the airport,my plane's leaving in two hours.
POLICE: May I see your ticket?
JAVIER: It's an electronic ticket, sir, I only need to show my ID.
POLICE: Where are you going?
JAVIER: Lisbon, sir...Portugal.
POLICE: Believe it or not I was there last Christmas.Is this your first time in Lisbon?
JAVIER: Yes, sir, I've never been there.
POLICE: Alright,then.This one time,I'll let you go,but slow down....and enjoy the city,it's really beautiful!!!!
JAVIER: Thanks a million,sir,I will enjoy my trip,thanks again!!!
POLICE: Godsped!!!(=buen viaje)
It's a good thing he didn't offer to accompany me to the airport....

What an example for yours pupils!! xDD
Dear Principe Zafiro,
1st: I don't appreciate the sarcasm underneath your comment.
2nd:What d'you actually consider objectionable,lying to a police officer or overspeeding?In the first case I avoided paying a ticket,which I think is clever.In the secondd case,it was just 5 mph!!
3rd:WHO ARE YOUUU and WHY DON?T YOU IDENTIFY YOURSEEEEEELLFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don´t worry all of us have ever lied to a police officer.
i disagree with Alina, i don't know but i can't lie to a police officer. i have clashed with police and i can´'t tell them a lie.
I think I can't lie to a policeman in a similar situation.
I think it´s time to write your memories.
best regards
p.d.After that I bet Coen brothers are going to buy the rights to film a blockbuster!!!!
