a little humor

[Henry artigue]

A fellow bought a new Mercedes and was out on an interstate for a nice
evening drive.

The top was down, the breeze was blowing through what was left of his
hair and he decided to open her up.  As the needle jumped up  to 80mph
he
suddenly saw a flashing red and blue light behind him.  "There  ain't no

way  they can catch a Mercedes," he thought to himself and opened her up

further.

The needle hit 90, 100 110 and finally 120 with the lights still
behind  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.  "I've had a tough shift and this is my last pull over. I
don't feel like more paperwork so if you can give me an excuse for your
driving that I haven't heard before you can go!"

"Last week my wife ran off with a cop," the man said, "and I was afraid
you were trying to give her back!"

"Off you go," said the officer.
