The Best Excuse For Speeding

A highway patrol chase down a sport convertible which was speeding on the highway. 
A middle-aged man was driving the car. 

The police officer walked over to the driver and asked. "Why are you doing, driving at 140mph? Are you trying to get both of us killed!"

The man looked sheepishly and said, "I was enjoying a slow leisure drive in my brand new car when I saw you pulling up behind me. 

Sir, my wife just ran away with a police officer. I thought you were bringing her back". 

The police officer looked at the man and then said, "Have a good day, Sir, drive slow and careful."
