I always thought 9 was acceptable. He probably noticed the dead body in the trunk. You really should learn to tie that down better.
Just heard a funny story supposedly told by Harry Caray. He and Ron were on their way to broadcast a Cubs game, and Harry was doing around 100 mph in a 55 zone. Got pulled over. Ron says you're in big trouble, but Harry says he'll talk his way out of it:
Popo: License and registration please.
HC: Jeez officer, I can't provide that. I stole this car.
PO: Please step out of the vehicle. Can I search ?
HC: Have at it, but i'll tell you there's a handgun in the glove box.
PO: Open the trunk please.
HC: Officer I won't lie. There's a dead body in the trunk.
Police calls for back-up.
Other cop: Mr. Caray, PO is telling me that you stole this car, but the resistration is in your name. He also said you had a weapon, but we can't find anything. And there is no dead body in the trunk -- just a spare tire.
HC: I suppose that son-of-a-buck told you I was speeding, too?!
