Late one afternoon a man was driving home - above the speed limit. He
noticed a police car with its red lights on in his rear view mirror.
"I can outrun this guy," he thought.
So he floored it, and the race was on. The cars were racing down the
highway - 60, 70, 80, 90 miles an hour. Finally, as his speedometer
passed 100, the guy figured, "What the heck," and gave up.
The police officer got out of his cruiser and approached the car. He
leaned down and said, "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 cruiser in my rear view
mirror, I thought you were trying to give her back to me!"
