I didn't try going much faster than 85.

Husband**: Al Gore III was pulled over for DUI in a Prius. Going over 100 miles an hour.

Jen: Feeling good about your car?

Husband: YEAH!!!!

*A 2002 and a 2004.

**Husband does not go more than 4 miles over the speed limit. Ever. He gets tense when I stay with the flow of traffic on exit ramps instead of slamming on the brakes to get to the posted 25MPH.

She would make a wonderful mother if she could find someone to reproduce with. But that whole killing-your-mate-and-eating-him after sex thing turns most men off.

Another spoiled rich kid who's too old to be doing dumb crap like this. They come in all shapes and sizes, and political parties.

It matters what the jerkoff was driving, why?

It's going to be a pretty lame "wild oats" story. "Dude, remember when we got all high and drove the prius at 100 miles an hour..." Wow Al, you're a party animal..

So Al III, next time you are packing illegal drugs (or drugs that could be legal if you have a script but don't) & are operating a motor vehicle: Buckle Up, check those tailights, registration & proof of insurance in the glove box, no open containers, drive the posted speed limit, etc, etc.

I did all manner of horrible things in high school, and I never got caught. If I ran for office (an impossibility, considering what a whore I was in college), I'd have old friends and acquaintances coming out of the woodwork talking about all the drugs I did, and one one occasion, sold. But because I was such a good boy in all other aspects, I never got caught with a sheet of blotter in my wallet.

Never telling us if he was pulled over just for speeding or if he was dui/high at the same time. They made it out like the police already knew about the stuff he had before getting pulled over.

Anyway, dumb guy.
