“Have A Good Day, Sir” June 14, 2014
Posted by nrhatch in Happiness, Humor, Joke.trackback
A Florida 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 I-95, pushing the pedal even more.
Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a Florida 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 to await the trooper’s arrival.
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 Florida State Trooper. I thought you were bringing her back.”
“Have a good day, Sir,” replied the trooper.
Aah . . . that’s better!

Hilarious!! Thanks for the lol this morning 🙂
Morning, Val! Hope your weekend is off to a great start.
*big grin* Best of the morning to ya!
Have a swell weekend, Kate!
🙂 so funny.
Makes me want to get in my convertible and fly down the highway to see what happens.
Oh, right, I don’t have a convertible. 😎
One merely wishes all troopers to be of such a generous nature!
Some troopers have a generous nature . . . some of the time. Usually on Fridays at shift’s end. 😎
Good observation!
I’ve been fortunate a few times when stopped to drive away without a ticket.
Ours, when feeling good, reduce the amount of the bribe they expect for turning a blind eye. Oh, and they REALLY get cross if you want the ticket instead.
Well ain’t that a unique turn of events. “Sir, I’d like to see your license, your registration, and . . . a bribe.”
Haha – his hair may be thinning but not his brain cells. 🙂
Good point, BB. He’s still got his wits about him.
Haaaaa! Wonderful – love it! 😀
Glad to see seniors putting all that accumulated wisdom and street smarts to good use. 😎
Aw…gotta love those senior Floridian jokes! Thanks for the laugh, Nancy! OMG…I can’t wait for you to read Eric’s spotlight post next week. What a doll, he sent it early and it’s hilarious!
Yay! I’m glad that Eric decided to highlight his sense of humor while in the spotlight. I’m enjoying this series of yours.
I’m having fun with it too, Nancy!
Yay! Then it’s a Win ~ Win ~ Win!
Definitely original!
A quick wit is like a “Get Out of Jail Free” card.
Haha, that’s funny. If I ever get pulled over for speeding, I hope it’s by an officer who doesn’t want to deal with the paperwork 🙂
Or who has already met his/her quota for the month. 😎
Ha ha! Very good!!! 😀
Hope you and CH have a brilliant day, Pix.
Hahaha!
That’s all I got.
That’s just enough . . . looking forward to seeing you in the spotlight on Jill’s blog.
Thanks. Anticipate an… alternative entry.
😉
It’s so funny that you think I didn’t know that you would be “alternative.” 😎
It helps to think on your feet! 😀
Agreed . . . think on your feet while revving the engine!
Vroom! Vroom!
Good one! 🙂 Apparently the state trooper identified with the situation.
It’s a guy thing. 😎
Of course research shows that married men are, on average, happier than unmarried men. While the opposite is true for women.
