Good night folks.  Time for some sleep so I can fly to Mexico for more
elixar.  Here's one last thought.

FERRARI

A doctor goes out and buys the best car on the market, a brand new
Ferrari GTO, it is also the most expensive car in the world, and it
costs him $500,000.

He takes it out for a spin and stops at a red light. An old man on
a Moped, looking about 100 years old, pulls up next to him.

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 miles an hour" states the doctor
proudly.

The Moped driver 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, the old man 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 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.

WHHHOOOOOOSSSSSHHH!

Something whips by him going much faster! "What on earth could be going
faster than my Ferrari?" the doctor asks himself. He floors the
accelerator and takes the Ferrari up to 250 mph. 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 mph.

WHOOOOOOOSHHHHH!

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 his old guy, he floors the gas pedal and
takes the Ferrari all the way up to 320 mph. 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 mangled old man and says, "Oh My Gosh! Is
there anything I can do for you?"

The old man whispers, "Unhook my suspenders from your side view
mirror.
