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."
