Carbon monoxide is odorless...
I almost got a ticket today, but the Iowa trooper must not've cared that I was going 93 in a 65.

Soldier’s ticket speedily dismissed
Associated Press
WICHITA, Kan. — An apologetic letter from Pfc. Carlos Nunez was enough to get a $185 speeding ticket dismissed and refunded — that and the letter’s North Baghdad, Iraq, return address.
On April 6, Nunez was on his way to Fort Riley, Kan., to prepare for deployment. He was ticketed on a north Wichita interstate for driving 84 mph in a 60 mph zone, a court clerk said.
Nunez, who was assigned to Alpha Battery, 4th Battalion, 1st Field Artillery at Fort Riley, sent a letter to explain why he hadn’t handled the ticket earlier.
“I am sorry I haven’t paid any of your fines, but for the last month, there has been no mail, no phone calls, no nothing,” Nunez said in the letter. “Please accept the check and thank you for your gracefulness.”
Traffic court clerk Sue Ingram spotted the letter and took it upstairs to Judge Paul Clark. Clark, whose grandson served in the military, said he understood the Nunez’s communication difficulties. The judge decided his service trumped the speeding ticket.
“One seems to outweigh the other when you really get to look at it,” Clark said. “I thought that it was an indication of good citizenship to send his letter apologizing to us because it’s late.”
Clark passed it along to District Attorney Nola Foulston, who immediately signed the ticket and dismissed it. All the court workers involved signed a greeting card and enclosed Nunez’ $185 check.
Foulston added her own personal message: “Please drive safely in Baghdad.”
