A senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible
out of the dealership and past the Tim Horton's. Taking off
down the Trans Canada, he floored it to 120 km, enjoying the
wind blowing through what little hair he had left.
"Amazing!" he thought as he flew down the 401, pushing the
pedal to the metal even more. Looking in his rear view
mirror, he saw the RCMP behind him, red and blue lights
flashing and siren blaring. "I can get away from him - no
problem!" thought the elderly nut case as he floored it to
130 km, then 140, then 150 km. Suddenly, he thought, "What
on earth am I doing? I'm too old for this nonsense!". He
pulled over to the side of the road and waited for the
Mountie to catch up with him.
Pulling in behind him, the officer walked up to the driver's
side of 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 why you were speeding that I've never heard
before, I'll let you go."
The man, looking very seriously at the Mountie, said, "Years
ago, my wife ran off with an RCMP officer. I thought you
were bringing her back.
"Have a good day, Sir.," said the Mountie.
