Someone sent me this. I thought it was funny:
A senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of
the dealership and past the Tim Horton's.Taking off down the Trans Canada , he floored it to 120 kph,
enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left."Amazing!" he thought as he flew down the highway, pushing the pedal
to the metal even more. Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw the RCMP behind him, red and blue lights flashing and siren blaring."I can get away from him, no problem!" thought the elderly nut
case as he floored it to 130 kph, then 140, then 150 kph.Suddenly, he thought, "What on earth am I doing? I'm too old for
this nonsense!" He pulled over to the side of the road and waited for the Mountie to catch up with him.Pulling in behind him, the officer walked up to the driver's side
of the Corvette, looked at his watch and said, "Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason why you were speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go."The man, looking very seriously at the Mountie, said, "Years ago,
my wife ran off with an RCMP officer. I thought you were bringing her back."Have a good day, Sir," said the Mountie.

You wrote,[...a senior...what little hair he had left..too old...]
I am unsure as to what the age of the subject person has to do with the joke. If you could post answers to the following, then I coulodkhave the opportunity to respond accordingly.
A. Could the joke have been told with the subject person being someone other than the senior?
B. If not, why not?
C. If the joke could be told with the subject person being somone other than a senior, could you post here (redacted by respondent)

> I am unsure as to what the age of the subject person has to do with the joke. If you could post answers to the following, then I coulodkhave the opportunity to respond accordingly.~ ~ Hi Lou - I'm 62 myself, & that 'counts' as a seniour a lot of places where I live, so although I'm not delited about it, I am starting to think of myself as a senior.~ ~
> A. Could the joke have been told with the subject person being someone other than the senior?
~ ~ ~ I'm not sure Lou.
> B. If not, why not?
~ ~ I think for me, it is partly the preconceived idea I have of what it means to be a senior! I'm in the process of working it out these days anyway. I find that I'm taking certain clothes from my cupboard, for example & as I go to put them on, I'll think, " Man, I wonder if I should be wearing this at this age!"
As far as this joke goes, in my mind it sort of DID have to do with the fact that it was a senior. But perhaps that has to do with my idea of what being a senior MEANS & as I said, I'm in the process of figuring it out!!
:-)> C. If the joke could be told with the subject person being somone other than a senior, could you post here (redacted by respondent)
> Lou~ ~ I don't know what "redacted by respondent" means - sorry.
Hmmmm - I'm going to re-read the joke & just have the person be a man (no age mentioned & no reference to age) & see if I still find it funny! Good idea. I'll do it tomorrow (too tired now).
Lou - if having the person in the joke be a senior was insulting or disturbing to you, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to insult or disturb anyone. Maybe I'll start a new thread as to what being a senior means???? Like, do I need to give away certain clothes, etc!!!
take care Lou, xoxo Kath

Kath the joke was great and I'm a senior also. And I think it takes a senior to fully appreciate the humor in the joke. Oh I like Mountie Canadian Police? Love Phillipa ps your're so good looking you can keep wearing that bikini string one isn't it???? Love again Phillipa

LOL - you're great! Nope it's a short straight skirt, with a small slit at the back. It's about an inch above my knees....not all that short really. I'm going to start that separate thread about this.
luv & hugs Phillipa, & glad you liked the joke!!
LOL, Kath
