A Tennesee senior citizen 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 US-37, pushing the pedal even more.
Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw the Deputy Sheriff behind him, 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 he pulled over to await the Deputy's arrival.
Pulling in behind him, the Deputy walked up to 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 for speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go. The elderly gentleman paused and said, 'Three years ago, my wife ran off with a Deputy Sheriff. I thought you were bringing her back.'
'You have a good day, Sir,' replied the Deputy.
