A Florida senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he pushed it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left.
"Amazing," he thought as he flew down I-95, pushing the pedal even more.

Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a Florida State Trooper, blue lights flashing and siren blaring. He floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120. Suddenly he thought, "What am I doing? I'm too old for this!" & pulled over to await the trooper's arrival.

Pulling in behind him, the trooper got out of his vehicle & walked up to the Corvette. He looked at his watch, then said, "Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a new reason for speeding--a reason I've never before heard -- I'll let you go."

The old gentleman paused then said: "Three years ago, my wife ran off with a Florida State Trooper. I thought you were bringing her back.

"Have a good day, Sir," replied the trooper.
Georgia
The owner of a golf course in Georgia was confused about paying an invoice, so he decided to ask his secretary for some mathematical help.

He called her into his office & said, "Y'all graduated from the University of Georgia & I need some help. If I wuz to give yew $20,000, minus 14%, how much would you take off?"

The secretary thought a moment, and then replied, "Everthang but my earrings."



Louisiana
A senior citizen in Louisiana was overheard saying..."When the end of the world comes, I hope to be in Louisiana ."

When asked why, he replied, "I'd rather be in Louisiana 'cause everythang happens in Louisiana 20 years later than in the rest of the world."

Mississippi
The young man from Mississippi came running into the store & said to his buddy, "Bubba, somebody just stole your pickup truck from the parking lot!"

Bubba replied, "Did y'all see who it was?"

The young man answered, "I couldn't tell, but I got the license number."

North Carolina
A man in North Carolina had a flat tire, pulled off on the side of the road, and proceeded to put a bouquet of flowers in front of the car & one behind it. Then he got back in the car to wait.

A passerby studied the scene as he drove by, and was so curious he turned around & went back. He asked the fellow what the problem was.

The man replied, "I got a flat tahr."

The passerby asked, "But what's with the flowers?"

The man responded, "When you break down they tell you to put flares in the front & flares in the back. I never did understand it neither."


Tennessee
A Tennessee State trooper pulled over a pickup on I-65. The trooper asked, "Got any ID?"

The driver replied, "Bout whut?"

Texas
The Sheriff pulled up next to the guy unloading garbage out of his pick-up into the ditch. The Sheriff asked, "Why are you dumping garbage in the ditch? Don't you see that sign right over your head."
"Yep," he replied. "That's why I'm dumpin' it here, 'cause it says: 'Fine For Dumping Garbage.' "

This last one reminds me of a ranch problem we had years ago. I had an old pickup box dump trailer, with an ancient hand-pump hyraulic cylinder. My hired hand at the time was quite mechanical and creative. He decided to add some oil to the pump. In big raised letters on this early day hydraulic cylinder, it stated, "BRAKE FLUID RUINS CYLINDER." The hired hand thought it said, "BRAKE FLUID RUNS CYLINDER." He did just that, and the pump promptly quit working. :roll: :)

A couple of the locals had hunted on land adjoining town for years. The landowner decided to put a stop to this, and posted NO HUNTING signs at all his gates. The locals went hunting anyway. The landowner rode unexpectedly over a hill horseback and caught them. He said, "Didn't you see the NO HUNTING signs at the gates?" The quick reply by one of the red-handed culprits was, "Yes, and those signs are correct. We've been out here all morning, and there is sure no hunting." :)
