Me: (Suspicious) Well, perhaps you should tell me exactly what happened during the car stop.
Client: I crossed over the double yellow line to pass a slow moving vehicle, and the officer pulled me over for unsafe passing.
Me: What happened when the officer approached your car?
Client: Well, um, well, I was naked at the time.
Me: (Without hesitating or cracking a smile) This sounds like a case which we will NOT want to take to trial.
Client: Why not?
Me: Because the officer will most definitely remember this case.
Client: You think? I was IN my car (indicating his lower body was not readily visible sitting down in the driver’s seat).
Me: Oh yes. By the way, you should know that it is illegal to drive naked.
Client: But he really couldn’t see anything until he stopped me.
Me: You are considered indecently exposed if your naked body is visible in plain view.
Client: Oooooh.
Me: That will be $500.
