John lived in a small town with only one traffic light. John had saved up his money and bought a moped. One day he was at the light waiting for it to turn green when a shiny new Corvette convertible pulled up next to him.
John had never seen anything like this in his life. The Corvette had its top down so he leaned over the side of the car and started checking out the interior. This annoys the driver of the corvette so when the light turns green he steps on the gas, laying down rubber as he leaves the intersection.
He gets up to 60mph when suddenly John flies by him on his moped. The driver of the corvette says to himself “This clown wants to race!”. Shifting into 4th gear he steps on the gas again. He leaves John in his dust as gets up to 100mph. Then out of nowhere he sees John coming up fast in his rear view mirror. He can’t believe it as he sees the moped flying past him. The driver of the corvette shifts into 6th gear and floors it. He passes John and gets up to 150mph! Once again, John passes him like he’s standing still. Shocked, the driver of the corvette pulls over to the side of the road. He hears gravel flying and brakes squalling as John pulls up next to him. The driver congratulates John on winning the race and asks him what kind of an engine he has in his moped.
Puzzled John replies, “Race? I was just trying to get my suspenders off of your side-view mirror.”
