      Many newer models have a setting that automatically adjusts the radio based on the speed you are driving at.

        With me it is stopping for the signal at the next intersection.

          The company vehicle I drove did that.
          If slowing down from 100km/h and stopping at traffic lights the vehicle would reduce the windscreen wipers down to intermittant and turn the radio down.

            A man gets on a bus with a pocket full of golf balls.
            He sits down next to a blonde who keeps looking at his pants.
            After a few minutes of noticing she can't take her eyes off him, he looks at her and says "golf balls."
            "What?" The blonde replies.
            "It's golf balls," the man responds.
            "Oh," says the blonde. "Does it hurt as much as tennis elbow?"

                I have to assume the punch line is the part about the lawyer who can't lie.
                I know I should be ashamed of myself. Strangely though, I am not.

                  It would have been much funnier if it had been a politician.

                    There may be politicians that don't lie, but I'm sure there are none that can't lie....actually, I'm not even sure about the 1st part..Emujo

                      After the next UK election my son may well be a polititian, I may disagree with his views, but I can assure everyone that it is possible to have a polititian who doesn't lie

                        They will teach him to lie. It is a job requirement.

                          It's possible to have a lawyer that doesn't lie either, see my joke.

                            Yes but that guy was fictitious.

                              Truth is stranger than fiction.(Off Topic).
                              I worked for a supervisor(cold hard man) who was so use to his staff feeding him b/s.
                              He would get arrogantly upset when I told him the truth about jobs an how to fix them.
                              I said to him one day during one of his arrogant rants : -- "If you ever get sick of me telling you the truth,I can certainly feed you a head load of B/S. Your choice buddy...." His whole attitude toward me changed from that day on.

                                Not quite but close, I didn't quite catch what the news reader said so I tried to rewind the car radio!

                                And it runs in the family, someone walked past the window while Mrs Lagonda was watching TV, she didn't see who it was so she picked up the TV HDD recorder remote and pointed it at the window then hit rewind!!
