The officer continued, "When we pulled her up, she had 12 of the best looking Atlantic lobsters you could ever hope to see clinging to her. Haven't seen lobsters like that since the 1960's, and we feel you are entitled to a share in the catch."

The officer replied, "We're gonna pull her up again tomorrow."

The only explanation is he had to have had the tire on the roof of his vehicle holding on to it with his left hand, he had to stop, and the tire decided to keep going.
