A senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership.
Taking off down the road, he floored it to 90 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little gray hair he had left.
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.
The trooper walked up to the Corvette, and said “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.
