A friend of mine in college (also majoring in Engineering Physics) worked nights/weekends for campus security. He got to drive one of those pickup trucks with the orange whirly lights, and give people tickets for parking violations, speeding, unsafe driving, public drunkeness and so on. His favorite line for delivering the bad news to speeders:

"Excuse me, but -- given your car's mass -- you've exceeded your permitted momentum."
