A few weeks ago I was traveling to work at 50mph in the center of three lanes. Living near Philly, everyone drives like bankrobbers. It's a 55mph zone and everyone is going between 70-75mph, and I mean pretty much everyone. I should have been in the right lane but for some reason I hadn't made my way over there yet. So this big Ford truck is right on my rear bumper, when a Policeman comes flying up beside us in the left lane, slows, let's the truck pass me and gets in behind me. So all the traffic behind us is now is unwilling to pass the Policeman who is now doing the speed limit, so I have room to get over to the right lane, then he flips on the lights and I pull to the shoulder. I'm sure the conversation went much as the OP said, but I didn't have to walk the line. When he asked if I had been drinking last night I let out a chuckle and said no. He said I was riding on the lane dividing line and that's why he pulled me over. I pointed out the klenex next to me and told him I had just blown my nose so maybe I touched the white line. Then he asked why I was going to slow. I told him I wasn't in a hurry. He went back to his car and came back with a little warning paper, "Blocking Traffic" is what it said. When we pulled back into traffic he blew by me again accelerating up to 70mh in the 55mph zone.
I got quite a laugh out of it all....blocking traffic=doing the speed limit!
