The Speeding Ticket Excuse


A police officer pulled over a man for speeding. As the officer approached the car, he noticed that the man’s wife was frantically trying to finish her makeup.

Officer: “Sir, do you know how fast you were going?” Man: “Officer, I have a good excuse! My wife’s makeup was about to slide off her face!” Wife (indignant): “Oh, come on! You were driving like a maniac!” Man: “See, officer, I was just trying to maintain marital harmony.”

The officer couldn’t help but chuckle and let them off with a warning, reminding them to drive safely and maintain makeup priorities.
