"Gee, Officer Poncharelli, I didn't realize the speed limit was 8 mph for motorized farm implements."

So.

The City of Red Oak got itself A   motorcycle cop.

He is omnipresent, unsmiling, brutally efficient. And he seems pretty impressed with himself, judging by the no-nonsense expression on his face as he darts around in his knee-high Gestapo boots looking for traffic scofflaws. We pass one another a couple of times each day, eyeing each other like ancient nemeses. So far, I have been too wily for him, but I know it’s only a matter of time. I hereby promise all my FB friends that, once he finally does get me, I shall audibly hum the theme from CHiPs.

‘Twill be a moment for the ages.
