Flying to Los Angeles from San Francisco the other day, a passenger noticed that the “Fasten Seat Belts” sign was kept lit during the whole journey although the flight was a particularly smooth one.
Just before landing, he asked the stewardess about it.
“Well,” she explained, “up front there are 17 University of California girls going to Los Angeles for the weekend.
“In back, there are 25 Coast Guard enlistees. What would you do?”

Painted dummy doesn’t fool highway police

SEATTLE (UPI) – A driver who put a hat-wearing, clothed dummy in his car’s passenger seat when using a high-occupancy vehicle lane didn’t fool a Washington state trooper.
The trooper said when he first saw the fake passenger in a vehicle on northbound Interstate 5 Friday, he knew something suspicious was going on, The Seattle Times reported.
After pulling over the 27-year-old driver, the trooper found the passenger was actually just a dummy — painted beige to give it a human appearance. The mannequin also had been adorned with a sweatshirt and a hat, the trooper said.
The driver couldn’t explain himself to the trooper, who wrote up a $124 ticket for illegal use of the HOV-lane, the Times said.
