A man was driving home late one afternoon, and
he was driving above the speed limit. He notices
a police car with its blue lights flashing in
his rear view mirror.
He thinks 'I can outrun this guy,' so he floors
it and the race is on. The cars are racing down
the motorway -- 60, 70, 80, 90 miles an hour.
Finally, as his speedometer passes 100, the man
figures 'what the heck,' and gives up.
He pulls over to the hard shoulder. The police
officer gets out of his car and approaches the
car. He leans down and says 'listen mister, I've
had a really lousy day, and I just want to go
home. Give me a good excuse and I'll let you go.'
The man thought for a moment and said...'Three
weeks ago, my wife ran off with a police officer.
When I saw your police car in my rear view mirror,
I thought you were that officer and you were
trying to give her back to me!'
The officer let him go."
