An old man from Texas 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-30, pushing the pedal even more.  Looking in his rear view

mirror, he saw a   Texas 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.

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 Texas State Trooper, and I thought

you were bringing her back."

"Have a good day, sir," replied the trooper.
