A Texas senior citizen had just bought himself a new Corvette from a local dealer. He drove out of the car lot and got onto the Interstate. He gave the car some gas and away he went. Got it up to 80, then 90. then up to 120. He looked in his mirror, and here comes a Texas Highway Patrol car, lights flashing and sirens blaring. The man did not let up on the gas, but instead pushed the car to 140 mph. He then got scared and slowed down and pulled over. The cop came up to the door, and calmly said, "Sir, I only have 30 minutes left on my shift." "If you can give me one good reason, one that I have not heard before, why I should not arrest you and impound your car, I will let you go." "Well, the elderly man said, a couple of years ago, my wife ran off with a Texas Highway Patrol Trooper, and I thought that he might be trying to return her." "Have a good day sir!" said the cop.
