THE NEW FERRARI
A hip young man goes out and buys the
best car available: a 1997 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 for
a red light. An old man on a moped
(both looking about 90 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 1997 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!"
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 320 mph. Suddenly, he notices
a dot in his rearview mirror. It seems
to be getting closer! He slows down
to see what it could be and suddenly,
whhhoooossshhh! Something whips by him,
going much faster!
"What on earth could be going faster
than my Ferrari?!" the young man asks
himself. Then, ahead of him, he sees a
dot coming toward him. Whoooooosh!
It goes by again, heading the opposite
direction! And it looked like the old
man on the moped! "Couldn't be," thinks
the guy. "How could a moped outrun a
Ferrari?!" But again, he sees a dot in
his rear view mirror! Whooooosh
Ka-BbblaMMM! It plows into the back
of his car, demolishing the rear end.
The young man jumps out, and it IS the
old man!!! He runs up to the mangled old
man and says, "Omigod! Is there anything
I can do for you?" The old man whispers
with his dying breath, "Unhook...my
suspenders...from your side-view mirror..."
