A senior citizen drove his brand new BMW Z3 convertible out of the car
salesroom. Taking off down the motorway, he floored it to 90 mph, enjoying the
wind blowing through what little hair he had left.
"Amazing!" he thought as he flew down the M40, enjoying pushing the pedal to the
metal even more.
Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a police car behind him, blue lights
flashing and siren blaring.
"I can get away from him - no problem!" thought the elderly gentleman as he
floored it to 110mph, then 120, then 130mph.
Suddenly, he thought, "What on earth am I doing? I'm too old for this
nonsense!" So he pulled over to the side of the road and waited for the police
car to catch up with him.
Pulling in behind him, the police officer walked up to the driver's side of the
BMW, looked at his watch and said, "Sir, my shift ends in 10 minutes. Today is
Friday and I'm off for the weekend so I really don't need the paperwork. If you
can give me a reason why you were speeding that I've never heard before, I'll
let you go."
The man, looked very seriously at the policeman, and replied, "Years ago, my
wife ran off with a policeman. I thought you were bringing her back."
"Have a good day, Sir," said the policeman.
