Mario

This morning I was listening to the Canadian car talk guys and they had, as their special treat today, a phone conversation with Mario Andretti.  One of the questions asked of Mario was, "Have you ever been pulled over for speeding and the cop asked you, 'Who do you think you are? Mario Andretti?'"

Mario said that hadn't happened to him but he was riding with a friend who was pulled over and the cop asked him that.  His friend started to laugh and this angered the cop.  "Oh, you think this is a joke?" he said, and he almost yanked him from the car.  "No, no," his friend said.  "It's funny because my passenger IS Mario Andretti!"

I think he got the ticket any how.
