A hip young man goes out and buys the best car on the
market, a brand new Ferrari GTO. It is also the most
expensive car in the world, and it costs him $500,000. He
takes it out for a spin and stops at a red light.
An old man on a Moped, looking about 100 years old, pulls
up next to him. The old man looks over at the sleek, shiny
car and asks, “What kind of car ya’ got there sonny?”
The young man replies, “A Ferrari GTO. It cost half a
million dollars!”
“That’s a lot of money,” says the old man. “Why does it
cost so much?”
“Because this car can do up to 320 miles an hour!” states
the young dude proudly.
The Moped driver asks, “Mind if I take a look inside?”
“No problem,” replies the owner. So the old man pokes his
head in the window and looks around.
Then, sitting back on his Moped, the old man says, “That’s
a pretty nice car, all right…but I’ll stick with my
Moped!”
Just then the light changes, so the guy decides to show the
old man just what his car can do. He floors it, and within
30 seconds, the speedometer reads 160 mph. Suddenly, he
notices a dot in his rear view mirror. It seems to be
getting closer! He slows down to see what it could be and
suddenly WHHHOOOOOOSSSSSHHH! Something whips by him going
much faster!
“What on earth could be going faster than my Ferrari?” the
young man asks himself. He floors the accelerator and takes
the Ferrari up to 250 mph. Then, up ahead of him, he sees
that it’s the old man on the Moped! Amazed that the Moped
could pass his Ferrari, he gives it more gas and passes the
moped at 275 mph. WHOOOOOOOSHHHHH! He’s feeling pretty good
until he looks in his mirror and sees the old man gaining
on him AGAIN!
Astounded by the speed of this old guy, he floors the gas
pedal and takes the Ferrari all the way up to 320 mph. Not
ten seconds later, he sees the Moped bearing down on him
again! The Ferrari is flat out, and there’s nothing he can
do!
Suddenly, the Moped plows into the back of his Ferrari,
demolishing the rear end. The young man stops and jumps out
and unbelievably the old man is still alive. He runs up to
the mangled old man and says, “Oh My God! Is there anything
I can do for you?”
The old man
whispers…”Unhook…my…suspenders…from…your…side-
view……mirror”.
