Question

Two policemen stopped Andrew Kershaw in his sports car one night, because he was speeding in the street of the town. The young man was very drunk. He knew he was in trouble, so he decided to make fun of them. He was a law student at the university, so he knew the law very well, better than most people.

When the policemen came to his car, Andrew asked one of the policemen to write down in his notebook everything they said. The policemen had to do this because it is the law, although people usually don’t know it. The policemen tested Andrew’s breath and the breathalyzer showed that he had too much alcohol in his blood. This all took a long time because the policemen had to write down everything that he and the policemen said.

In the end, by law, the policemen had to ask Andrew if he wanted to say anything. Andrew decided that he had two things to say and the policemen had to write down. The first thing was “Please don’t hit me again, officer”. And the second thing was “Does the other officer want ￡5, too?” Of course, the poor policeman had to read this in court, in front of the judge , and he was very embarrassed. Andrew, who was in court, thought it was very funny, until the judge took away his license for a year and fined（罰款）him ￡100, ￡90 for drunk driving, and ￡10 for his rudeness!
