Saw the punch line coming from a mile away
But still good for a laugh.
A hip young man goes out and buys the best car available: a brand new Ferrari 550. One of the most expensive production cars in the world, and it costs him $300,000. He takes it out for a spin and stops at a red light. An old man on a Moped (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?" The young man replies, "A Ferrari 550. It's very expensive!" "Why does it cost so much, asks the old man?" Because this car can go up to 220 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 fancy 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 20 seconds the speedometer reads 140mph. 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... w-h-h-h-o-o-o-o-s-s-s-h-h-h! 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 180 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 some more gas and passes the Moped at 200mph... W-h-o-o-o-o-o-o-s-h! 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 220 mph. A few 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, denting the rear. The young man carefully brakes the Ferrari to a stop, jumps out, and unbelievably, the old man is still alive! He runs up to the mangled old man and says, "Oh my God! Is there anything I can do for you? The old man whispers with halting breath, "Unhook my suspenders from your side-view mirror you son of a bitch." |
