Default Speaking of doing 80 mph ...

A senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the
dealership. Taking off down the road, he floored it to 80 mph, enjoying
the wind blowing through what little gray hair he had left. "Amazing,"
he thought as he flew down I-94, pushing the pedal even more. Looking in
his rear view mirror, he saw a state trooper behind him, 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 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 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 State trooper. I thought you were bringing her back."

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