    A Florida senior citizen rode his brand new Harley - Davidson 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, twisting the throttle even more.


    Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a Florida sate trooper, blue lights flashing and siren blaring. He throttled 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. He looked a 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.
