Speed Limit

A man was driving home late one afternoon, and he was
driving above the speed limit. He notices a police car
with its red lights on in his rear view mirror. He thinks

miles an hour. Finally, as his speedometer passes 100, the
guy figures "what the heck," and gives up. He pulls over
to the curb.

The police officer gets out of his cruiser and approaches
the car. He leans down and says "listen mister, I've had
a really lousy day, and I just want to go home. Give me a
good excuse and I'll let you go."

officer and you were trying to give her back
