Ok, so in case you are like me, finished coffee, and Pizza in a Mug for Breakfast, now it's time to get to work!
Animals to auction
Ron the farmer is auctioning off a number of his animals, and his ranch supervisor needs to get them across town to the auction site...
"Mauricio, you're late"
Sorry señor, flat tire
"Well hurry up, the auction begins at 10 and I want all the animals we're selling sent over"
Yes, right away señor
Mauricio pulls his truck, trailer in tow, around to the horses first. He loads them up and drives off towards the auction site.
On the way there, Mauricio drives 1mph above the speed limit, and as he passes a highway patrol car, he notices the officer glance at him and then go back to his coffee. Mauricio continues and drops off the animals and heads back to the farm. He does the same trip with the other animals, each trip going 1mph faster than before. When he's almost done and has just a few animals left, the trailer suffers a tire blowout on the way to the farm. Ron tells Mauricio when he arrives:
"Just take the goats in the bed of the truck, by the time you get back, I'll have the trailer's tire replaced."
So Mauricio takes the goats to the auction site, at this point now passing by the officer 5mph above the speed limit. When he gets back to the farm, the trailer is back to normal, and they load up the pigs in the bed of the truck and the donkeys on the trailer and notice that it's getting close to 10 o'clock and need to hurry.
Farmer Ron tells Mauricio that after he drops off the animals, to come back to the farm and supervise the workers in the fields, and he takes off to the auction in his sports car to ensure he gets there first.
Mauricio drives off and when he gets on the road starts driving just a bit faster than the other times, passing by the officer 6mph above the speed limit. This time, however, the officer has what looks like a handheld radar gun pointed at Mauricio, and as he drives by, the officer shakes his head and gets into his car. But he doesn't chase after Mauricio.
On the way back to the farm after successfully dropping off the animals at 9:58, Mauricio notices that the officer is not on the other side of the road, but on his side, and the officer waves him down to stop on the shoulder.
Mauricio is a bit nervous but hopes to be able to explain himself, and lowers his window and sets his drivers license on the dash. The officer walks up to the window and greets Mauricio, then asks him:
"When you were on the other side heading across town, do you know how fast you were going?"
Mauricio nervously responds no, señor, but you measure my speed, correct?
The officer says: "To be honest, I don't know how fast you were going, see, I forgot to turn on my radar gun. I just noticed that you were hauling ass"

I recently became a expert in procrastination. I'll tell you about it later.
