Man And Wife

A man and a woman leave a party in their car late one night. After a couple of miles a police car signals the man to pull over. The policeman walks up to the couple.

“Good evening, sir,” he says. “Do you realize you were doing 60 mph in a 55 mph zone?”

“I’m afraid I didn’t,” the man says. “I must have put my foot down to keep up with the traffic. I’m terribly sorry”

“He’s lying, officer,” the man’s wife suddenly shouts. “He clearly told me he was going to thrash the car’s arse off to get back in time for the football.”

The policeman nods his head. “I also noticed you were weaving in and out of the traffic in a reckless manner,” he says.

“Yes, I was,” the man replies. “An insect flew into my eye and I lost control for a moment. I’m very sorry. Next time I’ll pull over”

“He’s such a liar,” the man’s wife interrupts again. “He was laughing like a madman and pretending to be James Hunt.”

At this point the man finally snaps. ”For Christ’s sake woman,” he bellows. “Shut your blabbering mouth before I fill it!”

“Does he always speak to you like this?” the cop asks the wife.

“Oh no, officer,” the wife says. “Only when he’s had eight pints and a couple of bottles of wine.”
