He took off down the road and 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 and pushed the pedal even harder.
In his rearview mirror, he spotted 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 wait for the trooper.
The trooper parked behind him, 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.
Did you see that comeback coming, or did the old gentleman win you over too? Share it with someone who loves a quick road joke with a perfect final turn 🙂
