As the officer approaches, the man blurts out, “Officer, can I step out of the car?” The cop nods.
Once outside, the officer asks, “Alright, care to explain why you were speeding?”
The man sighs and gestures toward the car. “See the woman in the passenger seat? That’s my wife. The woman in the back? My mother-in-law. She’s been living with us for the past three months.”
The officer raises an eyebrow. “Go on.”
“This morning, they had a huge fight. My mother-in-law said she was done with us and insisted I take her home. I’m just trying to get her there before they make up—because if they do, she’ll come back with us!”
The officer pauses, then bursts out laughing. “Get back in your car. I’m giving you a police escort—lights and sirens included—so she gets home safely!””
