Speeding

A middle-aged guy bought a brand new Mercedes convertible.

He took off down the road, flooring it up to 80 mph and enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left. "This is great," he thought and floored it some more. He looked in his rear-view mirror and there was a New York State Highway Patrol behind him, blue lights flashing and siren blasting.

"I can get away from him with no problem," thought the man and floored it some more, flying down the road at over 100mph. Then he thought, "What am I doing? I'm too old for this kind of thing." He pulled over to the side of the road.

The Trooper pulled in behind the Mercedes and walked up to the man."Sir," he said, looking at his watch. "My shift ends in 13 minutes and today is Friday the thirteenth. 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 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, sir."
