Excuse for speeding

A guy gets stopped for speeding one night. The cop was near the end of his shift and didn’t feel like writing another ticket so he says to the man “If you can give me an excuse that I haven’t heard before, you can go” The man thinks for a moment and says “Last week my wife ran off with a cop” “And?” “And I thought you were trying to bring her back ” “Have a nice night sir”
