Daily Joke: Speeding ticket

A man in his 40s bought a new BMW and was out on the highway for a nice evening drive. The top was down, the breeze was blowing through what was left of his hair so he decided to increase the speed.

As the needle jumped up to 80 km/h, he suddenly saw flashing red and blue lights behind him.

“There’s no way they can catch a BMW,” he thought to himself and increased his speed to 90 then 100 km/h. The reality of the situation hit him. “What in hell am I doing?” he thought and pulled over.

The police officer came up to him, took his license without a word, and examined it and the car.

The police officer then said, “It’s been a long day, this is the end of my shift, it’s Friday the 13th, and I don’t want to do any paperwork. If you can give me an excuse for your driving that I haven’t heard before, you can go”.

The guy thinks for a second and says, “Last week my wife ran off with a police officer. I was afraid you were trying to give her back”.

“Have a nice weekend,” said the officer.
