A Senior Moment

A Florida senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out
of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he floored it to 100 mph,
enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left.


"Amazing," he thought as he flew down I-75, pushing the pedal evenmore.

Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw the highway patrol behind him,
blue lights flashing and siren blaring.

He floored it to 120 mph, then 130, then 140. 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 20 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 Florida State Trooper. I thought you were bringing her back."


"Have a good day, Sir," replied the Trooper.
