A Corvette Story
A Florida senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette C5 convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he floored 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 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 speedster 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 with him.
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 Florida State Trooper. I thought you were bringing her back."
"Have a good day, Sir," said the Trooper

Pelican driving his '02 coupe down the A1A north of Palm Beach, notices smoke pouring out from under the car behind him. Immediately pulls into a service center to have it looked at and tells the tech he's going to run across the street to Baskin Robbins. He comes back in an hour and the tech says "Looks like you blew a seal" and the pelican says "No, it was a vanilla cone and it leaked. What's wrong with my car?"
