“You have the right to remain buoyant.”

We have an enormous surplus of tax revenue here yet nothing but potholes and crime. The only good I see is that the drive-by aiming is usually very inaccurate.

Oops, he’s not wearing a seatbelt. (Unless it’s an older model that doesn’t come equipped with shoulder straps) My favorite bumper sticker: “Hug your Kids at Home, Belt them in the Car”

The Officer: “What potholes?”

I saw this joke when I was a kid, and that was a lo o o ong time ago.

Hang on Bleeb, the officer should climb out of that watering hole soon.

Houston, Texas

Has Bleep gotten smaller?

And he deliberately stopped next to a big pot-hole when he pulled over. He’s lucky the officer didn’t order him to get out.

You know, for all the crap I give my town about infrastructure, I haven’t hit a pothole in ages. …railroad tracks though, sheesh!

The cops nickname IS Pottsy!

I’ve zigged and zagged around pot holes and man holes on certain roads and wondered if I would get stopped for it. Then I started to see other drivers in my mirrors doing the same thing so I stopped worrying about it.

Is that a Springfield 1911 or a Glock G43 ?

Hey, it’s Boss Hogg & Dukes of Hazard!

I’m seein’ some wave action in that pothole!

Duuude! Surfs gonna be up soon! Grab your boogie board and let’s catch a curl, then we can scope out some hard bods at the beach, ya!

Happy motoring in Pennsylvania!

Welcome to Nashville!

This actually happened to me. Except the cop thought there was something wrong with my car. Ironically, I was on my way to an AA meeting, lol.

He must live in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

They are good about filling in potholes here, but when we go to our daughter’s, we play that amazing game of Dodge the Potholes….. not an easy game!

The drunk guy is the one driving perfectly straight through the pot holes.

Freeze, thaw, freeze, thaw—— can’t wait for March!

“I’m not pulling you over; we’re being paid to stand in the potholes so drivers will (hopefully) swerve.” Cheaper for the city than repairing the roads. Kind of like the state troopers who park their cars at the entrance to highway construction sites…

Hang Bleeb! Don’t drown.

Surely the officer should be able to relate to the driver. I have this SINKING feeling that he does

Haha, I love it!

Bleeb: “What is this cop doing in my swimming pool?”

Bleeb there are much better ways to observe our legal system in action.

I think this is timely for the Biden Infrastructure Bill ?!?

It’s getting that way! Swerving that is!

I wasn’t swerving I was dodging.

The cop’s standing on a smart car

My brother and I used to drive on a really rough unpaved road as a short cut when we were growing up. Our comment was the only way to know if you were on the road or driving through the forest was the forest had trees. I live in San Diego now and the pot holes are really bad.

Reminds me of a time I was driving over a bridge and there was a pothole so deep you could see straight down into the river below.

Exhibit A (pointing down).

Sounds like any city street that gets plowed/salted/sanded …

That’s practically an Olympic sized pool for Bleeb.

Potholes? What potholes?

Looks like Michigan.
