An elderly gentleman had just picked up his brand new Corvette convertible from the dealership. Excited like a kid again, he hit the highway and pressed the pedal down. At 80 miles per hour the wind rushed through the little gray hair he still had, and he thought to himself, this is amazing. The thrill took over and he pushed it harder.
In his rearview mirror he suddenly spotted flashing lights and heard the siren of a state trooper. Instead of slowing down, he tested the car even more. Ninety, one hundred, one ten, even one twenty. Then reality struck. He shook his head and thought, what am I doing at my age? With a sigh he pulled over and waited.
The trooper walked up, glanced at his watch and said, sir, my shift ends in thirty minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason for speeding that I have never heard before, I will let you go.
The old man smiled and replied, years ago my wife ran off with a state trooper. I thought you were bringing her back.
The trooper paused, then laughed and said, have a good day sir. 😁
