Subject: BEST EXCUSE FOR SPEEDING
A Florida senior citizen drove his brand new Mustang convertible
out of
the 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-75, pushing the pedal to the
metal
even more.
Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw the highway patrol behind
him, blue
lights flashing and siren blaring. 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 Mustang,
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 he said, "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.
