The Moped
An elderly man on a Moped, looking about 100 years old, pulls up next
to a doctor at a street light. The old man looks over at the sleek shiny
car and asks, 'What kind of car ya got there, sonny?'
The doctor 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 doctor proudly.
The Moped driver asks, 'Mind if I take a look inside?' 'No problem,'
replies the doctor. 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, the doctor 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...
WHOOOOSSSHHH!
Something whips by him going much faster! 'What on earth could be
going faster than my Ferrari?' the doctor asks himself. He presses
harder on 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. 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 doctor stops and jumps out and, unbelievably, the old
man is still alive. He runs up to the banged-up old guy and says, 'I'm
a doctor.... Is there anything I can do for you?' The old man whispers,
'Unhook my suspenders from your side view mirror.'
