With all this 959 talk.

Since everyone is talking about a 959 today, and my brother just sent this
to me, it seem appropriate.

A hip young man goes out and buys the best car available: a 1997, Turbo
BeepBeep.  It is the best and most expensive car in the world, and it runs
him $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 1997 Turbo BeepBeep.  They 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,
whhhoooossshhh!  Something whips by him, going much faster!  "What on earth
could be going faster than my Turbo BeepBeep?" 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 a Turbo BeepBeep?" 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 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 moans and replies, "Yes.  Unhook my suspenders from your
side-view mirror!"
