A senior citizen in Florida bought a brand new Mercedes SL55 convertible.
He took off down the road, flooring it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing
through what little hair he had left on his head.
"This is great," he thought as he roared down I-75. He pushed the pedal to
the metal even more. Then he looked in his rear view mirror only to see a
highway patrol trooper behind him, blue lights flashing and siren blaring.
"I can get away from him with no problem," he thought as he tromped it
harder, flying down the road at over 100 mph. Then 110; 120 mph. Suddenly
he thought, "What am I doing? I'm too old for this kind of thing."
Pulling over to the side of the road he waited for the trooper to catch up
with him. The trooper pulled in behind the Mercedes and walked up to the man.
"Sir," he said, looking at his watch. "My shift ends in 30 minutes and
today is Friday. If you can give me a reason that I've never heard before
why you were driving that fast, I'll let it go."
The man looked up at the trooper and said, "Years ago my wife ran off with
a Florida State trooper, and I thought you were bringing her back."
Tipping his hat the trooper replied, "Sir, have a real nice day."
