A Banbury senior citizen drove his brand new sports car out of the car saleroom. Taking off down the motorway he floored it to 90mph, enjoying the thrill of his stunning machine. 'Amazing' he thought as he flew down the M40.

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 -p no problem!' thought the elderly gent as he floored it to 110mph, then 120, then 130mph.

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 Volvo, looked at his watch and said, 'Sir, my shift ends in 10 minutes. today is Friday and I'm taking off the for weekend. If you can give me a reason why you were speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go.'

The man looked very seriously at the policeman and replied, 'Years ago my wife ran off with a policeman and I thought you were bringing her back.'

'Have a good day, Sir,' said the policeman

das muss ich mir merken, gute Ausrede...
