IF YOU ARE CAUGHT BY THE POLICE FOR SPEEDING – REMEMBER THIS EXCUSE!

A man bought a new Mercedes and took his new car out for an evening drive.  He put the convertible top down, the breeze was blowing in his hair and he decided to put his foot down and see how fast she would go.  As the speedo quickly jumped up to 110 klm per hour he suddenly saw a flashing red and blue light in his mirrors.

"There's no way they are going to catch me in a Mercedes" he thought and accelerated even more.

The speedo quickly went to 120; 130; 140; 150 and the lights were still in his mirrors!

"What an earth am I doing" he thought to himself so he stopped and pulled off to the side of the road.

"What on earth are you?" doing the angry policeman shouted at him. "I've had a tough shift and I'm just about to go off duty and I don't want have to do any more paperwork tonight if I can avoid it!   If you can come up with an excuse I haven't heard before – I'll let you off.

The man replied:  "Last week my wife ran away with a policeman – I was afraid you were trying to bring her back!!!

"Have a nice night" said the policeman.
