Hey there, time traveller!

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I tried flirting with a traffic cop who was going to give me a ticket. He was cold as ice to me. Am I losing my touch? When I was young I used to get out of tickets with a warning, using a lot of charm, eyelash batting and sexy innuendo. At one point the ice king just looked at me and said, “Cut it out.” I knew what he was talking about, so I just heaved a sigh and said, “You’re no fun,” and accepted the ticket.
At what point does a woman’s charm become invisible? I’m more upset by feeling unattractive at 41, than at having to pay the ticket. What happened to all the playfulness between the sexes?
— It’s No Fun Anymore, Winnipeg
Dear No Fun: Getting a ticket instead of a warning for doing something dangerous in traffic is not a judgement on your attractiveness. In fact, you’re harassing someone who’s doing a job. From now on, do what the policeman says and “cut it out.” You earn a ticket, you answer the questions, listen to the lecture and move on — slowly.
If you want to play a form of “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?” do it with a lover who thinks you’re hot, not a policeman working his beat, who may be thinking you’re annoying before he even talks to you.
