Some one Liners;

I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it..

It's and oldie, but goodie;


A senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertable out of the dealership.  Taking off down the road, he floored it to 80mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what was left of his hair.
'Amazing' he thought as he flew down I-65, pushing the pedal even more.  Then, looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a state trooper behind him, lights flashing, and siren blaring.  He floored it to 100mph, then 110, then 120.  Suddenly he thought, "What am I doing?  I'm too old for this," and he pulled over to await the trooper's arrival.  Pulling in behind him, the trooper walked up to the Corvette, looked at his watch and said, "Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes.  Today is Friday, and I'd rather not have a lot of paper work to do.  If you can give me a reason for speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go."  The old gentleman paused, then said; "years ago, my wife ran off with a state trooper.  I thought you were briniging her back."
