E-ZPass Exposes Infidelities

Attention adulterers: You may be cruising for a bruising if you are cheating on your loved one and own an E-ZPass. Who knew a little piece of plastic could cause so much trouble? It seems the E-ZPass (a type of electronic toll collection device) is emerging as a powerful means of proving infidelity. The reason: the contraception, that’s no bigger than the common garage door opener, allows suspicious spouses to check out where their cheating mates have been. One New York divorce attorney who has used E-ZPass records several times in court says this about the device: “E-ZPass is an … Continue reading →

Travel Tales to Learn From

The next time you are pulled over for speeding here’s an excuse you might not want to use: “I’m sorry officer. I was too busy eating my Oreo to notice I was going so fast.” Just ask a 28-year-old driver from New York who tried to convince state troopers that his use of excessive speed was a simple mistake. According to police reports, the man was driving his 1993 BMW last fall in a small Connecticut town when officers pulled him over. That’s when the motorist told troopers the reason he was driving so fast was because the Oreo he … Continue reading →

Which is Worse: An Emotional Affair or a Physical One?

Other than receiving news your spouse is dead (either because he or she was murdered, involved in a fatal car accident, or killed during some other tragedy) I can’t think of much worse news you could receive than to find out your spouse was unfaithful. But there are two kinds of affairs: physical ones and affairs of the heart. As I wrote in True Love Doesn’t Equal Perfect Love, if Wayne ever confessed to an affair I wouldn’t automatically start seeking legal services. I’d wait to figure out what kind of tryst he’d had. (Unless, of course, he told me … Continue reading →

What NOT To Do If You Are Caught Speeding

I’ve written a series of blogs providing tips on what you should do if Smokey clocks you going over the speed limit… now I’m back to discuss some things you should never do if your lead foot gets you pulled over. Learn a lesson or two from a speeder in Seattle, Washington. The 20-year-old man thought he could get out of a ticket by burrowing into mud along a local highway and covering himself with dirt and leaves. According to police reports, the motorist was pulled over for speeding, but took off on foot when officers approached his car. Police … Continue reading →

Avoiding Speed Traps on the Way to Grandma’s House—Part 2

In my previous blog I mentioned that the AAA estimates that more than 35 million people will hit the road during the last week in December. And as a holiday gift (of sorts) to drivers who tend to gun it behind the wheel in an effort to make up for lost time the National Motorists Association (NMA) has prepared a list of the worst “speed trap cities” across the country. The NMA describes itself as an advocacy group for the “interests and rights of North American motorists.” As such, they felt it would be helpful for motorists planning to drive … Continue reading →

Avoiding Speed Traps on the Way to Grandma’s House

Tis the season to load up the family minivan and speed off to grandma’s house for another round of turkey and togetherness. The operative word here being “speed.” I’m pretty sure my family is not the only one that finds themselves scrambling around like decapitated chickens in the process of getting out the door and to family functions on time during the holiday season. The AAA is estimating that more than 35 million people will hit the road during the last week in December. And to help lead foots who will be driving to areas they are not familiar with … Continue reading →

My Husband’s Fascination with Cheaters

When I say “cheaters” I’m referring to the TV show Cheaters, which is all about just what its names implies: people being unfaithful to girlfriends/boyfriends, fiancés, and spouses. Suspicious lovers come to the producers with theories their significant other is being unfaithful, investigators are hired, and the suspected cheater is followed and their actions are documented on film. If the target is caught doing anything (which is almost guaranteed; I have yet to see a show where anyone was innocent), the evidence is then presented to the suspicious lover. Then it’s confrontation time, with cameras still rolling. Wayne loves this … Continue reading →

Bumper Stickers and Personalized License Plates—-Crack Ups and Controversies

“My cat is smarter than your honor student.” “Stable relationships are for horses.” “I thought I was indecisive; now I’m not so sure.” “Without geometry, life is pointless.” “I’m schizophrenic and so am I.” And, my personal favorite: “WWJD (Who Wants Jelly Donuts?)” Those are just some of the many hilarious bumper stickers I saw adorning vehicles this summer as my family traveled across the Midwest. Honestly, I’m still smiling as I write this. I don’t know where people come up with the material that eventually appears on bumper stickers, but I have to say, I am glad someone’s coming … Continue reading →
