Good Morning Officer!
Five Dutchmen are crammed in an old Renault 4 and driving through Belgium when they get pulled over by a traffic cop.
“Good morning, I guess you know why I pulled you guys over, don’t you?”
“Well officer, I actually don’t. We couldn’t have been speeding, this car won’t even make the speed limit.”
“No, no, it’s not that. Do you not realise what car you’re driving?”
“Yes sir, a classic Renault 4”
“Right. And how many of you are in the car?”
“Five, sir.”
“There you go. One too many. Renault 4 is for four people.” The driver looks at the cop, slightly baffled.
“Sir, the number 4 doesn’t mean only four people are allowed to ride. I know it’s a bit cramped, but surely not illegal.”
“Are you telling me I don’t know the rules?” the cop says angrily.
“No, no, not at all sir, it’s just ... Renault 4 is just the model number, not the capacity.” The cop, looking a bit unsure now, scratches his head and says “Alright, I’ll call my boss to check.” (On the radio) “Boss, Stef here, listen ... I’ve got five Hollanders here in a Renault 4 and they insist this isn’t illegal."
(Boss) “Stef, I don’t have time for your stupid questions right now. I’ve got three Italians in a Fiat Uno
