A fellow bought a new Mercedes 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 day, this is the end of my shift and it's Friday
the 13th. I don't feel like more paperwork, so 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 cop.
I was afraid you were trying to give her back!"

"Have a nice weekend," said the officer.
