A Florida senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he pushed it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left. "Amazing," he thought as he flew down I-95, pushing the pedal even more. Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a Florida State Trooper, blue lights flashing and siren blaring. He floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120. Suddenly he thought, "What am I doing? I'm too old for this!" and pulled over to await the trooper's arrival. Pulling in behind him, the trooper got out of his vehicle and walked up to the Corvette. He looked at his watch, then said, "Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a new reason for speeding--a reason I've never before heard -- I'll let you go." The old gentleman paused then said: "Three years ago, my wife ran off with a Florida State Trooper. I thought you were bringing her back. "Have a good day, Sir," replied the trooper.
Now, just to be fair that 'joke' is just as funny or maybe a little funnier with a gender change, e.g. .. A Florida senior citizen drove her brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, she pushed it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair she had left. "Amazing," she thought as she flew down I-95, pushing the pedal even more. Looking in her rear view mirror, she saw a Florida State Trooper, blue lights flashing and siren blaring. She floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120. Suddenly she thought, "What am I doing? I'm too old for this!" and pulled over to await the trooper's arrival. Pulling in behind her, the trooper got out of his vehicle and walked up to the Corvette. He looked at his watch, then said, "Ma'am, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a new reason for speeding--a reason I've never before heard -- I'll let you go." The elder lady paused then said: "Three years ago, my husband ran off with a Florida State Trooper. I thought you were bringing him back. "Have a good day, Ma'am," replied the trooper. Love to all, Hank..
