A Washington senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of a Seatle dealership. Taking off down the road, he
floored it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left.
“Amazing,” he thought as he flew down I-5, pushing the pedal even more.
Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw the State Patrol car behind him, blue and red lights flashing.
He floored it to 100mph, 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 walked up to the Corvette, looked at his watch and said, “Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason for speeding that I’ve never heard
before, I’ll let you go.”
The old gentleman paused. Then said, “Years ago, my wife ran off with a
Washington State Trooper. I thought you were bringing her back.”
