Re: The Drunk
An 85 year old man walks into a Chevy Dealership, and drives out with a brand new Corvette. He drives to the thruway to find he's the only one on the road... Perfect, he thinks. He's traveling 65mph, downshifts, and nails it to the floor, spinning the wheels and powershifting all the way to 6th gear. He blows by a trooper at 4th gear and doesn't alter what he's doing. The trooper can't even catch up with the Vette, but the old man realizes how foolish he's being, and slows down. He pulls the car over and waits for the trooper. When the trooper sees he's an old man, and not a teenager or young adult, he asks the old man "What in the world were you thinking?" The old man just sits there looking at the trooper. The tropper then looks at his watch, and tells the old man, OK... It's 6:45. My shift ends at 7:00. If you can give me a reason that I've NEVER heard before, why you we're driving so fast, I'll let you go. The old man looks down at his hands in his lap for a few seconds, then looks the trooper square in the eye, and says, "Trooper, two years ago, my wife left me for a state trooper. I thought you were him trying to return her."
Trooper says: "Have a good night sir"
