A man bought a new Mercedes to celebrate his wife leaving him and was out on the
interstate for a nice evening drive. The top was down, the breeze was blowing through
what was left of his hair and he decided to open her up. As the needle jumped up to
80 mph, he suddenly saw flashing red and blue lights behind him. “There’s no way
they can catch a Mercedes,” he thought to himself and opened her up further. The
needle hit 90, 100….. Then the reality of the situation hit him. “What am I doing?” he
thought and pulled over. The cop came up to him, took his license without a word and
examined it and the car. “It’s been a long hard day, this is the end of my shift and it’s
Friday the 13th. I don’t feel like more paperwork, I don’t need the frustration or the
overtime, so if you can give me a really good excuse for your driving that I haven’t
heard before, you can go.” The guy thinks about it for a second and says, “Last week
my nagging wife ran off with a cop. I was afraid you were trying to give her back!”
“Have a nice weekend,” said the officer.
