Them's the brakes...

A hip, wealthy young dude goes out and buys himself the best car available: a Bugatti Veyron 16.4.

It is the most expensive car in the world, and it sets him back just under £1 million. He takes it out for a spin and after a short while, has to stop 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 dude replies: "A Bugatti Veyron 16.4. It cost me £1 million, man."

"That sure is a lot of money" says the old man, shocked. "Why's it cost so much?

"Because this car can do up to 320 miles an hour!" states the dude proudly.

The moped driver asks, "Mind if I take a little look inside?"

"Sure," replies the owner.

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 - WHOOOSSSHH! - something whips by him, moving at an even greater speed.

"What the hell could be going faster than my Veyron?" the young dude asks himself.

Then, ahead of him, he sees a dot coming toward him...

WHOOOSSSHH!

It speeds by again, now heading in the opposite direction.

And... it almost looked like.. the old man on the moped.

"Couldn't be!" thinks the dude. "How could a moped outrun a Bugatti?"

Then, again, he sees a dot in his rear view mirror.

WHOOOSSSHHKa-BbblaMMM!

It plows into the back of his car, demolishing the rear end.

The young man jumps out, and, sweet baby Cheebus, it is the old man!

Of course the moped and the old man are hurting for certain.

He runs up to the now dying old man and says, "You're hurt really badly! Is there anything I can do for you?"


The old man groans and replies "You sure could sonny. Could'ya unhook my suspenders from your side-view mirror?"
