A man was speeding on the highway before he was pulled over by a police officer.

The police officer approached his car and the man rolled down his window.

'Sir, do you have any clue on how fast you were just going?' the police officer asked him.

'Well, I had to, didn't I officer, I was trying to get away from a crime scene. Robbery, weren't it, officer? '

'What? Why did you need to escape? Were you...involved?' the police officer questioned, slightly confused.

'Right, sir, ' he replied with his midland accent.

The police officer's immediate reaction was to open the car door and attempt to subdue the man.

'Hold on, officer. Don't go near my glove compartment, got a gun in there, don't I?'

By now, the officer was confused, shocked and bewildered as to how these events had happened despite this man's obvious stupidity. He called backup, and in no time, police cars and helicopters flooded the scene.

The man and his vehicle had been taken to the police station. After checks of both, a different police officer approached the man.

'Sir, one of our police officers informed us that you had stolen goods in your car as well as a gun in your glove compartment. However, after a thorough search, none of these items were found in your vehicle.'

'That liar told you that?' the man said. 'I bet he told you I was speeding as well.'
