Speeding in Florida
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 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
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."
