Thought You’d Return My Ex-wife!

A pensioner was speeding in his brand-new Mercedes, hitting 100 mph.

Glancing in his rearview mirror, he saw flashing lights and a police car behind him.

Thinking he could outrun it, he floored the accelerator—140 mph, then 150, then 155.

Suddenly, he thought, “I’m too old for this nonsense!”

He pulled over to the side of the road and waited for the officer to catch up.

The policeman approached, checked his watch, and said,

“Sir, my shift ends in ten minutes. It’s Friday, and I’m heading off for the weekend with my family.

If you can give me a reason for speeding that I’ve never heard before, I’ll let you go.”

The man looked at the officer seriously and said,

“Years ago, my wife ran off with a policeman.

I thought you were bringing her back!”

The officer burst out laughing and said,

“Have a good day, sir!”
