A friend of mine, Tommy Comer told me this one.
A man in his fifties had never owned a sports car, but was finally financially able to own one. So he bought a shiny new Jaguar.
On the way home he decided to really try it out. He got it up to 80 mph, and a policeman got after him. He said to himself, “I believe this thing can outrun a police car.”
So he accelerated up to 100 mph, but the policeman was still right on his tail. He thought about going faster, but decided it wasn’t worth the risk, so he pulled over.
The policeman came up and said, “I get off work in five minutes. If you can give me a good excuse, I will let you go.”
The fellow thought a minute and said, “Last week my wife left me for a policeman, and I thought you were him bringing her back.”
The policeman smiled and said, “Have a good day.”
