The Old Man on the Moped

AN elderly man on a Moped, looking about 100-years-old, pulls up next to a doctor at a street light. The old man looks over at the sleek shiny car and asks, “What kind of car ya got there, sonny?”

The doctor 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 km/h!” states the doctor proudly.

The Moped rider asks, “Mind if I take a look inside?”

“No problem,” replies the doctor.

So the old man pokes his head in the window and looks around. Then, sitting back on his Moped, he says, “That’s a pretty nice car all right but I’ll stick with my Moped.”

Just then the light changes so the doctor decides to show the old man just what his car can do. He floors it, and within 30 seconds, the speedometer reads 160 km/h.

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 WHOOOOSSSHHH! Something whips by him going much faster.

“What on earth could be going faster than my Ferrari?” the doctor asks himself.

He presses harder on the accelerator and takes the Ferrari up to 250 km/h. 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 km/h.

And 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 km/h.

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 doctor stops and jumps out and, unbelievably, the old man is still alive.

He runs up to the banged-up old guy and says, “I’m a doctor. Is there anything I can do for you?”

The old man whispers, “Yes, can you unhook my suspenders from your side rear view mirror!”
