A senior citizen drove his brand new BMW Z4 convertible out of the West London car sales room with much excitement. Taking off down the motorway, he floored it to 120mph. “Amazing!” he thought as he flew down the M4, enjoying pushing the pedal to the floor even more. Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a police car behind him, blue lights flashing and siren blaring.
“I can get away from him - no problem!” thought the elderly gent as he floored it to 140mph, then 150. Suddenly, he thought, “What on earth am I doing? I’m too old for this nonsense!” So he pulled over to the side of the road and waited for the police car to catch up with him.
Pulling in behind him, the police officer walked up to the driver’s side of the BMW, looked at his watch and said, “Sir, my shift ends in 10 minutes. Today is Friday and I’m taking off for the weekend. If you can give me a reason why you were speeding that I’ve never heard before, I’ll let you go.”
The old man, looked very seriously at the policeman, thought for a moment and replied, “Years ago my wife ran off with a policeman. I thought you were bringing her back.”
“Have a good day, Sir”, said the policeman.
