[Healeys] Dealing with the Highway Patrol

[Len and/or Marge Hartnett]

One of the funniest cartoons I ever saw, the ones you remember forever, was 
by Virgil Partch I think.  The cop has pulled a 'speeder' over.  The scene 
is a row of 55 MPH speed limit signs about 50 feet apart.  In the middle of 
these signs is one that says 25 MPH.  The cop asks the driver, "What's the 
matter buddy?  Can't you read?".
