A hip young man goes out and buys the best
car available: a 1997, Turbo BeepBeep. It is
the best and most expensive car in the
world, and it runs him $500,000. He takes it
out for a spin and, while doing so, stops at a
red light.

An old man on a moped (both looking well
up there in years) pulls up next to him. The
old man looks over the sleek, shiny surface
of the car and asks, "What kind of car ya' got
there, sonny?".
The young man replies, "A 1997 Turbo
BeepBeep. They cost $500,000."

"That's a lot of money," says the old
man,shocked. "Why do they cost so much?

"Because this car can do up to 320 miles an
hour!" states the cool dude proudly.

The moped driver asks, "Can I take a look
inside?

"Sure," replies the owner.

So, the old man pokes his head in the
window and looks around. Leaning 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 what his car
can do, so he floors it, and within seconds
the speedometer reads 320 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, whhhoooossshhh! Something
whips by him, going much
faster!

"What on earth could be going faster than
my Turbo BeepBeep?" 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
almost looked like the old man on the
moped! "Couldn't be," thinks the guy. "How
could a moped outrun a Turbo BeepBeep?"

Again, he sees a dot in his rear view mirror!
Whooooosh
Ka-BbblaMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
It plows into the back of his car, demolishing
the rear end. The young man jumps out, and
Heavens to Betsy, it is the old man!!!

Of course the moped and the old man are
hurting for certain. He runs up to the dying
old man and says, "You're hurt bad! Is there
anything I can do for you?"

The old man groans and replies "Yes.
Unhook my suspenders from your rear-view
mirror!"

MM :-)
