Searching for Dry Roads
A senior citizen in Florida bought a brand new red Corvette 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 tromped
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 Corvette 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"
"Have a good day, Sir," said the Trooper.
