[Mishmash] Sunday Smile

[LCR at rochester.rr.com]

Fred,

It was just a joke as you can see by the Sunday Smile headline.  I wouldn't 
have the nerve to try something like that.
Anytime I 've gotten a speeding ticket I usually take my punishment.

The only NY ticket I have gotten since I have lived here had the new NY 
surcharge fee on it on top of the amount for the ticket, that was a killer 
because my points were high.  Ouch.

Linda
