A senior citizen in Florida bought a brand new Mercedes convertible. 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 down I-75. He pushed the pedal
to the metal even more. Then he looked in his rear view mirror and saw a
highway patrol trooper behind him, blue lights flashing and siren
blaring."I can get away from him with no problem" thought the man and he
t! romped it some more and flew down the road at over 100 mph. Then 110,
120 mph!Then he thought, "What am I doing? I'm too old for this kind of thing."
He pulled over to the side of the road and waited for the trooper to
catch up with him.
The trooper pulled in behind the Mercedes and walked up to the man
"Sir," he said, looking at his watch. "My shift ends in 30 minutes and
today is Friday. If you can give me a reason why you were speeding that
I've never 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 thought you were bringing her back."
The trooper replied, "Sir, have a nice day."
