A very self-important
young man goes out and buys what he
believes is the best
car available: a 1997 Porsche 911 Turbo. It
is one of the fastest
and most expensive cars in the world.
That night, he takes
it out for a spin and, while doing so,
stops at a red light.
An old man on a moped (both looking about
90 years old) pulls
up next to him. The old man looks over the
sleek, shiny surface
of the car and asks, "What kind of car ya'
got there, sonny?"
The young man replies,
"A 1997 Porsche 911 Turbo. It cost me
$100,000."
"That's a lot of money,"
replies the old man. "Why do they cost
so much?"
"Because this car can
do up to 180 miles an hour!" states the
young man proudly.
The moped driver asks, "Can I take a look inside?"
"Sure," replies the owner.
So the old man pokes
his head in the window and looks around.
Leaning back on his
moped, the old man says, "That's a pretty
nice car, all right!"
Just then the light
changes, so the young guy decides to show
the old man what his
car can do. He floors it, and within 10
seconds the speedometer
reads 120 MPH. Suddenly, he notices a
dot in his rear view
mirror that seems to be getting closer! He
slows down to see
what it could be and suddenly, whhhoooossshhh!
Something whips by
him, going much faster!
"What on earth could
be going faster than my Porsche 911 Turbo?"
the young man asks
himself. Then, ahead of him, he sees a dot
coming toward him.
Whoooooosh! It goes by again, heading the
opposite direction!
And, it almost looked like the old man on
the moped!
"Couldn't be," thinks
the guy. "How could a moped outrun a
Porsche 911 Turbo?"
Again, he sees a dot
in his rear view mirror! Whooooosh-BLAMMM!
It plows into the
back of his car. The young man jumps out. It
is the old man! Of
course, the moped and the old man are hurting
for certain. He runs
up to the old man and says, "You're hurt
bad! Is there anything
I can do for you?"
The old man groans
and replies, "Yes. Unhook my suspenders from
your side mirror,
please."
