A Florida senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out
of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he floored it to 80mph,
enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left.
"Amazing!" he thought as he flew down I-75, pushing the pedal to the
metal even more. Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw the highway
patrol behind him, blue lights flashing and siren blaring. "I can get
away from him. No problem!" thought the elderly nut case as he floored
it to 100mph, then 110, then 120mph. Suddenly, he thought, "What on
earth am I doing? I'm too old for this nonsense!", pulled over to the
side of the road and waited for the Trooper to catch up. Pulling in
behind him, the Trooper walked up to the driver's side of the Corvette,
looked at his watch and said, "Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today
is Friday. If you can give me a reason why you were speeding that I've
never heard before, I'll let you go."
The man, looking very seriously at the Trooper, said, "Years ago, my
wife ran off with a Florida State Trooper. I thought you were bringing
her back."
"Have a good day, Sir." said the Trooper
