Cruising for a Ticket

A man had just bought himself a high performance sports car. He decided to take it out for drive on the open road to see just what his new toy could do. Not long into his ride, a cop pulls up behind him and turns on the lights, but the man was in one of his feistier moods. He floors the accelerator and leaves the cop in the dust. After he put two miles between himself and the cop, he came to his senses. He pulled over and waited.
The cop pulled up about a minute later. He got out of the cruiser and and approached the driver casually leaning up against the boot of the car. “I’ve had a really long week, and don’t feel like going through all the paperwork hassle brought on by your little antics back there,” said the officer. “I tell you what… If you can come up with an excuse I haven’t heard before, I’ll let you go.”
The driver paused for a moment and said, “Well Officer, my wife ran off with a cop last week, and I thought you might be trying to bring her back.”
“Have a good day, sir,” replied the officer as he headed back to his cruiser.
