Subject: BLAGUES-L: Turbo Beepbeep

 A hip young man goes out and buys the best car available--a 1999 Turbo
 BeepBeep.  It is the best and most expensive car in the world, and it
 runs him $1,500,000.  He takes it out for a spin, and while doing so, he
 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 1999 Turbo BeepBeep.  It cost $1,500,000."
 "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 heavens to Betsy, 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 groans and replies, "Yes.  Unhook my suspenders from your
 side-view mirror!"
