A senior citizen in Florida bought a brand new Mercedesconvertible. He took off
down the road, flooring it to 80 mph and enjoying the wind blowing through what
little hair he had left on his head. "This is great," he thought as he roared on
down I-75. He pushed the pedal to the metal even more. Then he looked in his
rear viewmirror and saw a highway patrol trooper behind him, bluelights flashing
and siren blaring. "I can get away from him with no !problem," thought the man
and he tromped on it some more, and flew downthe road at over 100 mph. Then 110, 120mph. Then he thought, "What am Idoing? I'm too old for this kind of thing."
He pulled over to the side of the road andwaited for the trooper to catch up
with him. The trooper pulled inbehind the Mercedes, and walked up to the man.
"Sir," he said,looking at his watch. "My shift ends in 30 minutes and today
isFriday. If you can give me any reason why you were speeding, that I'venever
heard before, I'll let you go."
The man looked at the trooper and said,"Years ago my wife ran off with a Florida
State trooper, and I thoughtyou were bringing her back."
The trooper replied, "Sir, have a nice day!"
