I was afraid that you're going to give her back

I bought a new Mercedes and was out on the interstate for a nice evening drive.

The top was down, the breeze was blowing through what was left of my hair and I decided to open her up.

As the needle jumped up to 80 mph, I suddenly saw a flashing red and blue light behind me.

 "There's no way they can catch a Mercedes,"" I thought to myself and opened her up further.

The needle hit 90, 100, 110. Then the reality of the situation hit me. I was terrified!

"What the heck am I doing?" I thought and pulled over.

The cop came up to me, and I took my license without a word, and let him examined it and the car.

Finally he came to the window looking steadily at me and said, "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!"

I blinked only once while my brain scrambled for a reply.

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

"Off you go," said the officer."

True story, the officer let me go ;)
