The cop and the old man in the 'Vette
So this old retiree decides he's going to treat himself and buys a '15 Stingray Z06. He's cruising down the highway and runs it up to about 80. Feels stable and doesn't feel that fast at all, so he gives it more pedal, pretty soon he's doing 125 and still feels like it can do more. So he decides he's going to top it out and floors it.
As he's passing through 130 a State Trooper running up behind him with its lights on. Screw it the old man thinks, I can outrun him. So he keeps going. Chase goes on for a couple hours, several different counties, a helicopter the works. Eventually he runs out of gas and the trooper walks up to the car, says
"Hey old timer. You were moving pretty good there. Didn't you see me behind you with my lights and siren on?"
Old man says "Yessir, I saw you."
Cop says "Well why didn't you stop? I can cite you for fleeing and eluding a felony with mandatory prison time."
Old man says "Well sir, years ago my wife ran off with a State Trooper. I was afraid you were trying to bring her back."
Trooper laughs and says "Man, that's a good one! Never heard that one before!" and writes him a warning ticket.
