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 in the heck 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.
