Original version:
Cop: You were doing 130 miles per hour.
QP: Oh, great!  Now I'm lost!

New version:
Cop: You know we can tell exactly where you are.
QP: That's good.  You'll never know whether I'm speeding.)

Frequent advice to Internet newcomers:
State your business, avoid eye contact, leave quietly,
