"Diplomacy with the police" joke

Years ago a friend was driving his late '60s muscle car on a turnpike at about
100 MPH. Soon an officer sternly stated, "License and registration."
Several minutes later he returned with a written warning for driving 100 in a
65 zone.
The offender said, "Not to be disrespectful, but how do you decide when to give
a ticket and when to give a written warning?"
The officer stated, "It depends on... the nature of the offense...
the condition of the road... the weather... the attitude of the offender...
or in this case I'm out of tickets."
