How to Get Out of a Speeding Ticket, 201

Hello class. Last semester, you learned about some of the basic ways to get out of a speeding ticket. Be polite and truthful, maybe have a pretty lady sitting in the passenger seat who can bat her eyelashes at the manly Mr. Police Officer, etc. But that's kid's play. Now we're getting into the real shit.

Today, I'd like to tell you about Jacob Lévy, a Canadian rabbi. Lévy was recently in municipal court to fight the ticket he got for speeding down a road at 120 km/hour. He explained to the court that this speed was reasonable and necessary because he was rushing to help out in a medical emergency, namely, a baby boy who was bleeding as a result of a circumcision gone awry. The court agreed that this established the "necessity" of his speeding, and Lévy's ticket was quashed.

So today's lesson is this -- penis threats always justify speeding. Class dismissed.
