FAST THINKER

[Penny]

An elderly gentleman was trying his newly aquired spots car out on the motorway and exceeding the speed limit when glancing in his rear view window he noticed a blue flashing light fast approaching. Not wanting to be stopped by the police he pushed the accelerator to the floor and left the police car behind him.
After about five minutes his conscience got the better of him and he pulled over on to the hard shoulder.
The policeman duly arrived and mentioned that although he was not pleased with the way the gentleman had been driving, his shift finished in ten minutes, and if he could give him an excuse that he hadn't heard before he would let him off with a caution.
'Well', said the gentleman, 'some years ago my wife ran off with a traffic officer and I thought you were bringing her back'.

cheers Penny.
