I'm sure it's happened to you
posted by pfunk on 2008-05-27 18:16:21So I was on the road, explaining the complex plane (as used in the Mandelbrot set) to my girlfriend. I was so involved that I didn't notice I had entered a small town (cruise still set to 65, town is 45). Got pulled over.
Didn't get a ticket, but I was too nervous to tell the cop the truth -- I was so excited about math that I missed the 55 sign.
