A hip young man goes out and buys the best car available: A brand new
Ferrari GTO. It is the most expensive car in the world, and it costs him
$500,000. He takes it out for a spin and stops at a red light. An old man
on a moped, looking about 100 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 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 man 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... but I'll stick with my moped
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 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,
suddenly...
whoooooosssshhhhh! Something whips by him, going much faster!
What on Earth could be going faster than my Ferrari the young man asks
himself. He floors 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.
Whoooooosssshhhhh! 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 young man stops and jumps out, and
unbelievably, the old man is still alive.
He runs up to the old man and says, "Oh my God! Are you OK? Is there anything I can do for you?" The old man whispers..." Unhook... my... suspenders... from... your...side... view... mirror."
