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, so 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. 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 mirror."
