THE OLD MAN AND THE CORVETTE

A SENIOR CITIZEN DROVE HIS BRAND NEW CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE OUT OF THE
DEALERSHIP...TAKING OFF DOWN THE ROAD, HE FLOORED IT TO 80 MPH, ENJOYING
THE WIND BLOWING THROUGH WHAT LITTLE HAIR HE HAD LEFT.

"AMAZING," HE THOUGHT AS HE FLEW DOWN I-45, PUSHING THE PEDAL EVEN MORE.
LOOKING IN HIS REAR VIEW MIRROR, HE SAW A STATE TROOPER BEHIND HIM, LIGHTS
FLASHING AND SIREN BLARING.

HE FLOORED IT TO 100 MPH, THEN 110. SUDDENLY HE THOUGHT, "WHAT AM I DOING?
I"M TOO OLD FOR THIS," AND PULLED OVER TO AWAIT THE TROOPER'S ARRIVAL.

THE TROOPER WALKED UP TO 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
FOR SPEEDING THAT I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE, I'LL LET YOU GO."

THE OLD GENTLEMAN PAUSED. THEN SAID, "YEARS AGO, MY WIFE RAN OFF WITH A
STATE TROOPER, I THOUGHT YOU WERE BRINGING HER BACK."

"HAVE A GOOD DAY, SIR, " REPLIED THE TROOPER.
