There was a middle aged guy who bought a brand new Mercedes convertible  SLK. He took off down the road flooring it up to 95 mph and enjoyed the  wind blowing through what little hair he had left on his head. "This is great," he thought and floored it some more.

He looked in his rear view mirror and there was a Highway Patrol Trooper  behind him, blue lights flashing and siren blasting. "I can get away  from  him with no problem," thought the man,  and he floored it some more and  flew down the road at over 135 mph.

Then he thought, "What am I doing? I'm too old for this kind of thing,"  and pulled over to the side of the road and waited for the State Trooper  to catch up with him.

The Trooper pulled in behind the Mercedes and walked up to the man.  "Sir," he said, looking at his watch. "My shift ends in 30 minutes, and  today is my birthday, so  I'm in a pretty good mood. Considering that you stopped for me,  if you  can give me a reason why you were speeding that I 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."
