A hip young man goes out and buys the best car available: a 1996,
Cosmo Quad Turbo RX-7. It is the best and most expensive car in the
world, and it sets him back $500,000. He takes it out for a spin and,
while doing so, stops for a red light. An old man on a moped (both
looking about 90 years old) pulls up next to him. The old man looks
over the sleek, shiny surface of the car and asks, "What kind of car
ya' got there, sonny?"
The young man replies "A 1996 Cosmo Quad Turbo RX-7. It cost
$500,000.
"That's a lot of money" says the old man, shocked. "Why does it cost
so much?
"Because this car can do up to 320 miles an hour!" states the cool
dude proudly.
The moped driver asks, "Can I take a look inside? "Sure," replies the
owner.
So, the old man pokes his head in the window and looks around.
Leaning back on his moped, the old man says "That's a pretty nice
car, all right!"
Just then, the light changes, so the guy decides to show the old man
what his car can do. He floors it, and within 30 seconds the
speedometer reads 320 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 and suddenly,
whhhoossh! Something whips by him, going much faster!
"What on earth could be going faster than my 7?" the young man asks
himself.
Then, ahead of him, he sees a dot coming toward him. Whoooooosh! It
goes by again, heading the opposite direction! And, it almost looked
like the old man on the moped! "Couldn't be," thinks the guy. "How
could a moped outrun an RX-7?"
Again, he sees a dot in his rear view mirror! Whooooosh Ka-BbblaMMM!
It plows into the back of his car, demolishing the rear end. The
young man jumps out, and good grief, it is the old man!!! Of course
the moped and the old man are hurting for certain. He runs up to the
dying old man and says, "You're hurt bad! Is there anything I can do
for you?"
The old man groans and replies "Yes. Unhook my suspenders from your
side-view mirror!"
