[SOC] Best Excuse...

Best Excuse...

A Wyoming senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of  
the dealership.

Taking off down the road, he floored it to 80mph, enjoying the wind  
blowing through what little hair he had left.

"Amazing!" he thought as he flew down I-80, pushing the pedal to the metal  
even more.

Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw the highway patrol behind him,  
blue lights flashing and siren blaring.

"I can get away from him.  No problem!" thought the elderly gent as he  
floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120 mph.

Suddenly, he thought, "What on earth am I doing?  I'm too old for this  
nonsense!" pulled over to the side of the road and waited for the Trooper  
to catch up.

Pulling in behind him, the Trooper 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 Trooper, said, "Years ago, my wife  
ran off with a Wyoming State Trooper.  I thought you were bringing her  
back."

"Have a good day, Sir," said the Trooper.
