THE SPEEDER

[frawin]

A Texas senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the
dealership..  Taking off down the road, he pushed it to 80 mph, enjoying the
wind blowing through what little hair he had left. "Amazing," he thought as
he flew down I-30, pushing the pedal even more.  Looking in his rear view
mirror, he saw a  Texas State  Trooper, blue lights flashing and siren
blaring.

He floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120.
Suddenly he thought, "What am I doing?
I'm too old for this!" and pulled over.

Pulling in behind him, the trooper got out of his vehicle and walked up to
The Corvette. He looked at his watch, then said, "Sir, my shift ends in 30
minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a new reason for speeding, a
reason I've never before heard, I'll let you go...."  The old gentleman
paused then said:
 
"Three years ago, my wife ran off with a Texas State Trooper.  I thought
you were bringing her back."


"Have a good day, sir," replied the trooper.
