The Speeding Motorist

There was a middle-aged guy who bought a brand new BMW convertable. He took off down the road flooring it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through his silver hair. "This is great", he thought and floored it some more. Then he looked in his rear-view mirror and saw there was a Highway Patrol Trooper behind him, lights flashing and siren blasting.

"I can get away from him - No problem", thought the man so he floored it some more until he reached 120 mph. Then he thought, "What am I doing? I'm too old for this kind of thing", and pulled over waiting for the State Trooper to catch him up.

The Trooper pulled in behind the BMW and walked up to the man. "Sir", he said looking at his watch. "My shift ends in 10 minutes and today is my birthday. If you can give me a reason why you were speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you off with a caution."

The man looked back at the Trooper and said, "Last week, my wife ran off with a State Trooper and I thought you were bringing her back."

The State Trooper said, "Have a nice day".
