If You Ever Miss Getting Mail, Just Get a Speeding Ticket

By Gunner Jackson August 3rd, 2022
If you ever miss getting letters in the mail, just get pulled over. You'll get all the mail you can handle!

Sometimes it just feels nice to get a letter in the mail. But not all mail is created equal.

Allow me to give you the background.

I had taken a trip to Greensboro to visit some friends. I always travel with my dog, Piper, and she really needed to take care of business, if you know what I mean.

So, I was in a bit of a hurry to say the least, and NOT paying attention to my speed. You know where this is going.

I didn’t get a ticket, but I did get a summons to court. That’s how fast I was going. Man, that really hurt me, because I haven’t had a ticket in forever.

Now, back to the photo that you see are all attorney solicitations I got in the mail after this. That was 13 pieces to be exact.

So, I must wonder have you too received the same?

I gotta’ say, there’s a little peace of mind knowing that I have my choice of representation. I’ll keep you posted on what happens to me. I may go to jail… NOT!
