Reminds me of the middle aged fellow, having just purchase a bright yellow sports car, decided to take it out and see what it would do. He attracted the attention of a highway patrol officer just as he reached 85 and the officer took up pursuit. The fellow decided he could probably outrun the officer and floor boarded it. Somewhere north of 100 mph, with the officer gaining on him, he decided to stop and take his medicine.
The officer, pad in hand, approached the sports car. He informed the fellow that it was only a few minutes until shift change and, that if the fellow could give him an excuse which he had never heard before, he would not write a ticket.
Without hesitation, the fellow replied, "You see, officer, my wife ran off with a highway patrolman last week and when I saw your red lights, I just knew it was you and you were bringing her back!"
