And so I'm speeding down the Interstate on my way to work at a new job and can't be late.
In my rear view mirror I see a cop coming upon me and I decide to try to out run him. After a couple of minutes, however, I get to thinking. He's got an eight cylinder car to my four cylinder car and there is a police substation just ahead. So, I pull over.
The cop approaches my car laughing. He said, "You knew you couldn't outrun me when you started that." He continued on, "Look I'm just trying to get off my shift and was concerned about the speed you were going. If you can give me a good excuse as to why you were going that fast, I'll let you go."
At this point, my mental Rolodex is going ninety miles an hour and that late for work excuse isn't cutting it. Then it dawned on me. And so I said, "Look officer, last week my wife ran off with a cop. I looked up in the mirror and saw you coming at me that fast, I thought it was him trying to bring her back." The cop smiles and says, "thanks, have a nice day."
