The following story came to me in an e-mail from my older son.  Sylvia and I had lunch with him and his daughter today.  It was fun and we laughed a lot.  Here is his story:

An oldie but goodie …..
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-75, 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.

The old fellow certainly earned ten out of ten for creativity!  My clever replies usually come to me several hours to a few days later.  How about you?

I’m still working on graphics for next weekend’s wedding.  The good news is that the end is in sight.  My hands are a bit sore, but it should pass.

I have photos to share with you, and I’ll try to do that one of these days.  I need to get away from this computer now.  I’ll be back soon . . . I think I’ll be back soon.
