What are good, successful excuses people have used after being pulled over by a cop?

My brother was a state cop for over thirty years. He told me the best one he had heard was from a guy, who having been pulled over and asked why he was driving so fast, said, "My wife is going to get pregnant tonight, and I want to be there when it happens." No ticket.

I had a friend many years ago, with more chutzpah than anyone needed, who told the cop his wife was having a baby. The cop asked where and the young man told him St. Anthony's. The cop led him - red lights and siren - to the hospital and said "good luck son". And drove away. We asked what he would have done if the cop had stayed around and the kid said he had no idea. I like your story better.
