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