Driving for Two

Here's an issue I hadn't thought of: expectant mom Candace Wilkinson of Arizona trys to dodge HOV restrictions by claiming her fetus as a passenger. The judge doesn't go for it, and fines her $360.
'This isn't the first time the same police sergeant who ticketed Wilkinson has had a case like this.
Phoenix Police Sgt. Dave Norton said, "The previous one was a whole lot less pregnant than Miss Wilkinson, and to follow her philosophy would require officers to carry guns, radios and pregnancy testers, and I don't think we want to go there."'
The next case will, no doubt, involve multiple personalities.

Hah, I wish I had thought of that back when I was commuting.

With a name like Hyde it would have been a natural!

For the love of God, don't tell Bob Marshall.

Why not? If you are pro-life you SHOULD be against driving while pregnant.

I am prolife, but Bob will put in a bill that backs the position, recognized the unborn as passengers, and every lady heading into the HOV lanes will stuff a towel under his blouse. And one day the next Supreme Court nominee will have to endure windy speeches from leftwing Senators on yet another hypothetical....
