The man floored it, thinking the cop would never keep up. Soon he was doing 150 mph. Just then he realized that the cop could easily call for back up and block the road ahead, so he decided to pull over.

As you can imagine, the cop was fuming. He told the man, "Look, it's Friday and I'm at the end of my shift. If you can give me a good excuse that I've never heard before, I'll let you go."

The man thought for a moment and responded to the cop. "O.K. Look. A couple of weeks ago, my wife ran off with a police officer, and when I saw the lights, I thought it was him trying to return her."
