An older man was driving his new Mercedes at 100 mph when he noticed a police car chasing him in the rearview mirror. He accelerated to 125 and then 155 mph. Suddenly, he thought to himself, “I’ve outgrown this crap.” He slowed down, pulled over to the side of the road, and waited for the police car to catch up.
The traffic officer approached him, looked at his watch, and said, “Sir, my shift ends in ten minutes, it’s Friday, and I’m about to start my weekend. If you give me a reason for your speeding that I’ve never heard before, I’ll let you go in peace.”
The man looked at the officer seriously and replied, “Years ago, my wife left me and ran off with a police officer. When I saw you chasing me, I thought you were bringing her back…”
The officer turned around and said, “Have a nice day, sir!”
