A Good Excuse 找藉口
A fellow bought a new Mercedes and was out on the interstate for nice evening drive. As the needle jumped up to 100 mph, he suddenly saw flashing red and blue lights behind him. 「There"s no way that cop can catch a Mercedes,」 he thought to himself, and proceeded to open her up further. The needle hit 110, 120... Then the reality of the situation hit him. 「What in the world am I doing?」 he thought and pulled over. The cop came up to him, took his license without a word and examined it and the car. 「It"s been a long day, this is the end of my shift and it"s Friday the 13th. I don"t feel like more paperwork, so if you can give me an excuse for your driving that I haven"t heard before, I just might let you go.」 The guy thinks for a second and says, 「Last week my wife ran off with a cop. I was afraid you were trying to give her back!」 「Have a nice weekend,」 said the officer.
