Feeling like a teenager again, he decided to see what the car was capable of. Once he hit the highway, he floored the acceleratorโ80 mphโฆ then 90โฆ the wind whipping through the few silver hairs left on his head. He was loving every moment!
But then, red and blue lights appeared in his rearview mirror. A state trooper was right behind him. Instead of slowing down, he panicked and pressed harder on the gasโ100โฆ 110โฆ 120 mph! Suddenly, reality hit. โWhat am I doing? Iโm a grandfather, not a getaway driver!โ He eased off the gas and pulled over. The trooper walked up, shaking his head, and said, โSir, my shift ends in thirty minutes, and itโs Friday. If you can give me one reasonโjust oneโthat Iโve never heard before for speeding, Iโll let you off with a warning.โ
The old man laughed and replied, โWell, officerโฆ years ago, my wife ran off with a state trooper. I thought you were here to bring her back.โ
