Subject: Fast fun

|
(Heard on radio station CHNS, Halifax.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There was a young fellow who was quite inventive and
|
||
|
|
was always trying out new things. One day he thought
|
||
|
|
he'd see just how fast a bicycle could go before it
|
||
|
|
became uncontrollable. He asked his friend, who owned
|
||
|
|
an old Mustang, if he could tie his bike to the bumper
|
||
|
|
of his car to test his theory. His friend said,
|
||
|
|
"Sure".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So the young man tied his bike to the back of the car
|
||
|
|
and said to his friend:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"I'll ring my bike bell once if I want you to go
|
||
|
|
faster, twice if I want you maintain speed, and
|
||
|
|
repeatedly if I want you to slow down."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With that, off they went. Things were going pretty
|
||
|
|
well, with the car driver slowly speeding up to well
|
||
|
|
over 60 mph. The young fellow on the bike was handling
|
||
|
|
the speed just fine. But, all of sudden, a black
|
||
|
|
Corvette came up beside them and before you knew it
|
||
|
|
the fellow driving the Mustang forgot all about the
|
||
|
|
fellow on the bike and took to drag racing the
|
||
|
|
Corvette.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A little further down the road sat Officer John in his
|
||
|
|
police cruiser, radar gun at the ready. He heard the
|
||
|
|
two cars before his radar flashed ****105 mph****.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
He called into headquarters on his radio: "Hey, you
|
||
|
|
guys aren't going to believe this, but there's a
|
||
|
|
Corvette and a Mustang racing out here on Highway 3,
|
||
|
|
and there's a guy on a bike ringing his bell and
|
||
|
|
waving his arms trying to pass them!"
