A hip young man goes out and buys the best car
available: a 1997 Ferrari GTO. It is also 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 rider and scooter
looking about 75 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?"
"Its a Ferrari and worth 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 hip 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 young 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 possibly 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 $500,000 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 Moped and equally "dented"
old man and says,
"Oh my goodness! Is there anything I can do for you?"
The old man whispers...
"Unhook...my suspenders...from your side-view mirror...
