Cop & Driver

A man is driving home late one afternoon, and he is driving above the speed limit. He notices a police car with its red lights on in his rearview mirror.

He thinks "I can outrun this guy," so he floors it and the race is on.

The cars are racing down the highway - 60, 70, 80, 90 miles an hour. Finally, as his speedometer passes 100, the guy figures "what the hell," and gives up.

He pulls over to the curb. The police officer gets out of his cruiser 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 will let you go!"

The man thinks for a moment and says...

"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 that officer and you were trying to give her back."
