A reason to speed

[kjlaw]

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-75, pushing the pedal even more.


Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a Florida State Trooper, blue lights flashing & 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 & 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.

Does this only happen in Florida?

One of my traffic Sgts asked the same question of a speeder he was told " I just got married and my wife and I got to the hotel and she discovered she forgot her neglegee. She just had to have it for tonight I just left her house to pick it up and am going back to the hotel". He then held up the neglegee and my Sgt said What are you doin here man, GO.
