San Diego: A Highway Patrolman pulls over a car and tells the driver that, because he was wearing his seat belt, he has just won $5,000 - sponsored by a statewide safety campaign.

"Do you mind if I ask you what you're planning to do with the money, Sir?" asks the patrolman.

"Well, I guess I’m going to get a driver's license." he answered.

"Oh, don't listen to him," yelled the woman in the passenger seat. "He's such a smart-aleck when he's drunk."

This woke up the guy in the back seat - who took one look at the cop and moaned, "I knew we wouldn’t get far in a stolen car!"

At that moment, there was a knock from the trunk and a voice (in Spanish) said, "Are we over the border yet?"
