A police officer pulls a car over for speeding.
He walks up to the driver's door, taps on the window to get the driver to
wind it down, and says to him:
'May I see your driver's license please sir.'
'Sorry,' says the driver, 'I don't have one. I had it suspended when I got
my fifth Drunk in Charge.'
'All right then sir' says the copper, thinking his luck's in. 'Can I see the
vehicle registration documents please ?' 'I'm afraid not.' says the driver,
'It's not my car. I've just stolen it.'
'The car is stolen?' says the policeman.
'That's right.' replies the driver, 'But come to think of it, I think I saw
the registration documents in the glove box when I was putting my gun in
there.'
'There's a gun in the glove box?' says the policeman, now starting to get
worried.
'That's right officer. That's where I put it after I shot and killed the
woman who owns this car and stuffed her body in the boot.' The copper stares
at him in disbelief.  'Are you saying you've got a body in the boot of the
car?'
'Yes officer.' says the driver.
My God, thinks the policeman, I've got a psycopath here, I better play this
one cool.
So he says to the man in the car; 'OK sir, if you wouldn't mind just waiting
here, I'll be back in a second', and he walks back to his patrol car, trying
to look as calm as he can.
He jumps in his car, ducks down behind the dashboard and desperately radios
for armed backup.
Minutes later, three armed response units screech to a halt and the suspect
car is quickly surrounded by policeman wearing bullet proof vests pointing
large guns at the driver.
But the driver himself remains sitting in the car, as cool as a cucumber.
The sergeant who's in charge decides it's worth taking the softly softly
aproach, and walks up to the suspect's car.
'Excuse me sir, can I see your license?' he says.
'Sure. Here it is' says the driver, and hands over a valid license.
'Thank you sir,' says the sargeant, 'And can you tell me whose car this is?'

'Yes.' says the driver 'It's mine. Here's the registration documents' and he
passes over the correct documents, which clearly show he is the owner.
'Right then' say the sargeant 'Could you slowly open your glove box so I can
see if there's a gun in it?'
'Yes officer' replies the driver 'But there's no gun in it.'
And  sure enough, there's nothing suspicious in the glove box.  'Well then
sir' says the sargeant, 'Would you mind opening your boot? My constable
tells me you said there was a body in it.' The driver pulls the boot release
and one of the other policeman creeps up to it and throws it open, but no
body.
The sargeant is now very puzzled,
'I don't understand it sir. The officer who stopped you said you told him
you didn't have a license, had stolen the car, had a gun in the glove box,
and that there was a dead body in the boot.' 'Oh, yeah,' said the driver,
'And I'll bet the lying bastard told you I was speeding, too!'
