Florida
“A Florida 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-95, pushing
the pedal even more.
Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a Florida 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 to await the trooper’s arrival.
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 Florida State Trooper.
I thought you were bringing her back.”
“Have a good day, Sir,” replied the trooper.
Thank You Andrea Shea-King at Facebook.
No trooper in his right mind would issue a 'revenue coupon' after hearing that.
