A Dunbar senior citizen drove his brand new Saab convertible out of the dealership in Edinburgh.
Taking off down the A1 south towards home, he put his foot down on the accelerator and soon reached over 80 mph at Tranent, enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left.
“Amazing,” he thought as he sped along past Haddington, pushing the pedal down even more.
Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a Police Car behind him, blue lights flashing and siren blaring.
He continued to accelerate – 100 mph, then 110, then 120.
Suddenly he thought, “What am I doing? I’m too old for this,” and pulled over to await the policeman’s arrival.
Pulling in behind him, the constable walked up to the Saab, looked at his watch and said, “Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason for speeding that I’ve never heard before, I’ll let you go.”
The old gentleman paused. Then said, “Years ago, my wife ran off with a Lothian and Borders Police Sergeant. I thought you were bringing her back.”
“Have a good day, sir,” replied the Policeman and returned to his car.
