  641. A cop stopped me for speeding. He said, "Why were you going so fast?" I said,
  642. "See this thing my foot is on? It's called an accelerator. When you push down

  644. And see this thing? This steers it." -- Steven Wright
  645.  
  646. I was going 70 miles an hour and got stopped by a cop who said, "Do you know

  691.
