How Queen got me out of a speeding ticket

Interesting title, isn't it?
I wanted to post this journal for no real reason, just something in between the art I've been doing.
It's an interesting story. Feel free to share with your friends. I'm sure anyone would find this amusing. Keep in mind that this story is 100% true. It had happened on my birthday no less. It just goes to prove if you can make a cop laugh your chances of getting out of tickets are much higher than being argumentative with the officer.
This is my interaction that had occurred about two to three years ago.
I was on my way to meet my friend, Eddy after getting off of work at the gym. We were going to meet at Red Robin for something to eat. Wonder what? :P Well as I was driving on the highway, I began approaching my exit. As no one except my mate knows, except now all who read this will soon know that I have a habit of singing in the car. I had my best of Queen CD in the car's player, and "Bohemian Rhapsody" was the song playing at the time. I had been singing along with Freddie Mercury. :P As I had done so, I hadn't realized that I was traveling down the highway at 80 mph in a 65 mph zone. Apparently there was a police officer who been following me with their lights flashing. I had eventually became aware of his presence. I had shortly found a spot to pull over. The following interaction took place:
Officer: Son, do you know how fast you were going?
Me: No officer.
Officer: You were traveling at 80.
Me: ................
Officer: License and registration
Me: Here you go officer. (I handed my state driver's license and my registration)
Officer: Are you in the military, son? (I've ALWAYS been mistaken for a soldier)
Me: No, sir. I work on Fort Benning, though for the DoD.
Officer: Did you know that I was following you for about a mile?
Me: No, officer. I didn't see you at all?
Officer: Why were you traveling so fast and didn't notice me? (as he hands me back my license)
Me: (As I look up at the officer in the eyes, I tell him with a half-cocked smile) Well officer, the song "Bohemian Rhapsody" was playing on my radio, and you HAVE to sing along with that song.
The officer looks at me strangely for a minute and then begins to smile. He had tried to contain his poker face for as long as he could, but couldn't contain himself for very much longer. He had then told me to take my leave. As I had begun to drive away, I look and in my rearview mirror and the officer appears to be laughing in his car. I begun to bust out laughing from the entire situation that had just transpired. I had gotten out of a speeding ticket, all thanks to Queen's masterpiece.
I wanted to embed this video of the Muppet version of the song, but I am not the most computer savvy furry out here and this is my end result. If you know how to fix this please let me know.
