A Florida senior citizen bought a brand new Corvette convertible.
He took off down I- 75, speeding at 85 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left on his head.
"This is great," he thought, as he roared down the highway.
He pushed the pedal to the metal even more. Then he looked in his rear view
mirror and discovered a Florida State Patrol officer right behind him, blue lights flashing, and siren blaring.
"I can get away from him with no problem," thought the man. He pushed the gas pedal all the way to the floor, and flew down the highway at 100 mph. Then 110, and 120.
Then he thought, "What am doing? I'm too old for this kind of thing." So he pulled over to the side of the road, and waited for the officer to catch up with him.
The officer pulled in behind the Corvette, and calmly walked up to the driver's door. "Sir," he said, looking at his watch. "My shift ends in 20 minutes. If you can explain why you were speeding away from me, with an excuse that I've never heard before, I'll let you go."
The man looked at the officer and said, "Ten years ago, my wife ran off with a Florida State Patrol Officer, and I thought you were bringing her back."
"Have a good day, Sir," said the officer.

At one point during a game, the coach called one of his 9-year-old baseball
players aside and asked, "Do you understand what cooperation is? What a team
is?" The little boy nodded in the affirmative.
"Do you understand that what
matters is whether we win or lose together as a team?" The little boy nodded yes.
"So," the coach continued, "I'm sure you know, when an out is called, you
shouldn't argue, curse or attack the umpire. Do you understand all that? Again the little boy nodded.
He continued, "And when I take you out of the game so another boy gets a
chance to play, it's not good sportsmanship to call your coach 'a dumb
jerk' is it?" Again the little boy nodded.
"Good," said the coach. "Now go over there and explain all that to your grandmother.
