A Leg Up<br />

Submitted by Jimbo<br />

An industrious local<br />

turkey farmer was always<br />

experimenting<br />

with breeding to perfect<br />

a better turkey.<br />

His family was fond of<br />

the leg portion for dinner<br />

and there were<br />

never enough legs for<br />

everyone.<br />

After many frustrating<br />

attempts, the farmer<br />

was relating the results<br />

of his efforts to his<br />

friends at the general<br />

store get together.<br />

"Well I finally did it! I<br />

bred a turkey that has<br />

6 legs!"<br />

They all asked the<br />

farmer how it tasted.<br />

"I don’t know" said the<br />

farmer. "I never could<br />

catch the darn thing!<br />

Prayer<br />

Submitted by Jimbo<br />

Introverts have fun too, we just don't care if you know.<br />

A pastor had a kitten<br />

that climbed up a tree<br />

in his backyard and<br />

then was afraid to<br />

come down. The pastor<br />

coaxed, offered<br />

warm milk, etc. The<br />

kitty would not come<br />

down. The tree was not<br />

sturdy enough to climb,<br />

so the pastor decided<br />

that if he tied a rope to<br />

his car and drove away<br />

so that the tree bent<br />

down, he could then<br />

reach up and get the<br />

kitten. He did all this,<br />

checking his progress<br />

in the car frequently,<br />

then figured if he went<br />

just a little bit further,<br />

the tree would be bent<br />

sufficiently for him to<br />

reach the kitten. But as<br />

he moved a little further<br />

forward... the rope<br />

broke.<br />

The tree went "boing!"<br />

and the kitten instantly<br />

sailed through the air -<br />

out of sight. The pastor<br />

felt terrible. He walked<br />

all over the neighborhood<br />

asking people if<br />

they'd seen a little kitten.<br />

Nobody had seen<br />

a stray kitten.<br />

So, he prayed, "Lord, I<br />

just commit this kitten<br />

to your keeping," and<br />

went on about his business.<br />

A few days later he<br />

was at the grocery<br />

store, and met one of<br />

his church members.<br />

He happened to look<br />

into her shopping cart<br />

and was amazed to<br />

see cat food. Now this<br />

woman was a cat hater<br />

and everyone knew it,<br />

so he asked her, "Why<br />

are you buying cat food<br />

when you hate cats so<br />

much?"<br />

She replied, "You won't<br />

believe this," and told<br />

him how her little girl<br />

had been begging her<br />

for a cat, but she kept<br />

refusing. Then a few<br />

days before, the child<br />

had begged again, so<br />

the Mom finally told her<br />

little girl, "Well, if God<br />

gives you a cat, I'll let<br />

you keep it." She told<br />

the pastor, "I watched<br />

my child go out in the<br />

yard, get on her knees,<br />

and ask God for a cat.<br />

And really, Pastor, you<br />

won't believe this, but I<br />

saw it with my own<br />

eyes. A kitten suddenly<br />

came flying out of the<br />

blue sky, with its paws<br />

spread out, and by the<br />

grace of God, landed<br />

right in front of her!"<br />

After Thanksgiving<br />

dinner was finished,<br />

Mort saw his little<br />

brother Sid in the<br />

backyard, poking holes<br />

in the dirt and filling<br />

them in with birdseed.<br />

"Why are you planting<br />

birdseed?" Mort asked.<br />

Because Business Should Lead To Abundance


The reason why I hate mornings so much is that they start while I’m still sleeping.<br />

Paul Baribault<br />

Inspiring kids to become<br />

not just eager readers but<br />

eager writers is the goal of<br />

Sleepyheadbooks.com, a<br />

new online booksite by local<br />

writer and playwright Paul<br />

Baribault. Its mission statement,<br />

“Inspiring a child to<br />

love writing is as easy as…<br />

telling dreams,” is drawn<br />

from the title of the site’s featured<br />

book, Sleepyheads –<br />

Telling Dreams, now available<br />

as a Kindle reader at<br />

Amazon.<br />

The mind is a wonderful thing: it wakes up when you do and falls asleep<br />

when you reach the office.<br />

Its cover and chapter illustrations,<br />

by local artist and<br />

Brunswick teacher, Rik Belanger,<br />

are in a class of their<br />

own. “Our dreams are a<br />

deep source of imagery and<br />

story potential,’ believes the<br />

author. “And energetic writing<br />

can paint images that engage<br />

children through to a<br />

book’s finish – and hopefully,<br />

these ten connected tales<br />

will inspire them to think of<br />

their own dreams as a wonderful<br />

starting point towards<br />

better, more engaged writing.”<br />

The plot twists at the end of<br />

Sleepyheads (one especially)<br />

will leave readers of<br />

all ages pleased with the<br />

"OMG" variety of surprise<br />

one hopes to experience in<br />

all storytelling. Three<br />

reader’s theater books for<br />

the classroom, derived from<br />

Hans Christian Andersen<br />

classic short stories, will also<br />

be available soon at Sleepyheadbooks.com.<br />

Curfew<br />

Submitted by Jimbo<br />

This young man was<br />

elated when he turned<br />

eighteen in a state<br />

where curfew is 11:00<br />

p.m. for anyone under<br />

seventeen years of<br />

age.<br />

He told his Dad how<br />

happy he was that now<br />

he could stay out until<br />

3:00 a.m. if he wanted.<br />

Did Noah include termites on the ark?<br />

"Yes you can stay out<br />

as late as you want,<br />

but the car is under<br />

seventeen and it has to<br />

be in the garage by<br />

eleven," his father said.<br />

Mixed Breed<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

In a dog park in a very<br />

chic Manhattan neighborhood,<br />

three dogs<br />

get together to chat,<br />

and the subject of what<br />

breed they are comes<br />

up.<br />

The first dog says,<br />

"well, my mother was a<br />

cocker spaniel and my<br />

father was a poodle, so<br />

I'm a Cockapoo. We're<br />

very trendy."<br />

The second dog puts<br />

his nose in the air and<br />

says, "Well, that's nice.<br />

Personally, my father<br />

was a purebred pug<br />

and my mother was an<br />

award-winning beagle,<br />

making me a Puggle.<br />

We're the latest thing<br />

in L.A."<br />

The third dog looks<br />

very uncomfortable<br />

and starts trying to<br />

change the subject.<br />

"Come on, just tell us,"<br />

the other dogs keep<br />

saying. Finally, he<br />

gives in.<br />

"Well, my father was a<br />

Bull Terrier and my<br />

mother was a Shi<br />

Tzu..."<br />

Pilgrim Jimbo:<br />

I see thee cleaning<br />

hunting gear for the<br />

morrow. Dost thou plan<br />

on hunting bear?<br />

Pilgrim Thomas:<br />

Certainly not, Jimbo. I<br />

am shocked that thou<br />

would suggest it. I shall<br />

wear clothing as usual!<br />

Night of<br />

Thanksgiving<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

'Twas the night of<br />

Thanksgiving,<br />

but I just couldn't<br />

sleep...<br />

I tried counting<br />

backwards,<br />

I tried counting sheep.<br />

The leftovers beckoned...the<br />

dark meat<br />

and white,<br />

but I fought the temptation<br />

with all of my<br />

might.<br />

Tossing and turning<br />

with anticipation,<br />

the thought of a snack<br />

became infatuation.<br />

So, I raced to the<br />

kitchen, flung open the<br />

door<br />

and gazed at the<br />

fridge, full of goodies<br />

galore.<br />

I gobbled up turkey<br />

and buttered potatoes,<br />

stuffing with gravy,<br />

green beans and<br />

tomatoes.<br />

I felt myself swelling so<br />

plump and so round,<br />

till all of a sudden, I<br />

rose off the ground.<br />

I crashed through the<br />

ceiling, floating into the<br />

sky<br />

with a mouthful of<br />

pudding and a handful<br />

of pie.<br />

A man staggers into an<br />

emergency room with<br />

two black eyes and a<br />

five iron wrapped<br />

tightly around his<br />

throat.<br />

Naturally the doctor<br />

asks him what happened.<br />

"Well, it was<br />

like this," said the man.<br />

"I was having a quiet<br />

round of golf with my<br />

wife when she sliced<br />

her ball into a pasture<br />

of cows.<br />

"We went to look for it<br />

and while I was rooting<br />

around, I noticed one<br />

of the cows had something<br />

white at its rear<br />

end.<br />

"I walked over and<br />

lifted up the tail and<br />

sure enough, there<br />

was my wife's golf ball<br />

-- stuck right in the<br />

middle of the cow's<br />

butt. That's when I<br />

made my mistake."<br />

"What did you do?"<br />

asks the doctor.<br />

One Day<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

On Thanksgiving Day, all over America, families sit down to dinner at the same moment,<br />

halftime.<br />

A politician dies and<br />

ends up standing in<br />

front of the pearly<br />

gates. Saint Peter<br />

looks at him for a second,<br />

flicks through his<br />

book, and finds his<br />

name.<br />

"So, you're a politician."<br />

"Well, yes, is that a<br />

problem?"<br />

"Oh no, no problem.<br />

But we've recently<br />

adopted a new system<br />

for people in your line<br />

of work, and unfortunately<br />

you will have to<br />

spend a day in Hell.<br />

After that however,<br />

you're free to choose<br />

where you want to<br />

spend eternity!"<br />

"Wait, I have to spend<br />

a day in Hell?!" says<br />

the politician.<br />

"Those are the rules,"<br />

replies St Peter, clicks<br />

his fingers, and<br />

WOOMPH, the guy<br />

disappears. He<br />

awakes, curled up with<br />

his hands over his<br />

eyes, knowing he's in<br />

Hell. Cautiously, he listens<br />

for the screams,<br />

sniffs the air for brimstone,<br />

and finds...<br />

Nothing. Just the smell<br />

of, is that fabric softener?<br />

And cut grass,<br />

this can't be right?<br />

a voice. "C'mon, wakey<br />

he uncovers his eyes,<br />

looks around, and sees<br />

he's in a hotel room. A<br />

nice one too. Wait, this<br />

is a penthouse suite...<br />

And there's a smiling<br />

man in a suit, holding a<br />

martini. "Who are<br />

you?" the politician<br />

asks.<br />

"Well, I'm Satan!" says<br />

the man, handing him<br />

the drink and helping<br />

him to his feet. "Welcome<br />

to Hell!"<br />

"Wait, this is Hell?<br />

But... Where's all the<br />

pain and suffering?" he<br />

asks.<br />

Satan throws him a<br />

wink. "Oh, we've been<br />

a bit misrepresented<br />

over the years, it's a<br />

long story. Anyway, this<br />

is your room! The minibar<br />

is of course free,<br />

as is the room service,<br />

there's extra towels<br />

next to the hot-tub, and<br />

if you need anything,<br />

just call reception. But<br />

enough of this! It's a<br />

beautiful day, and if<br />

you'd care to look<br />

outside."<br />

Slightly stunned by the<br />

opulent surroundings,<br />

the man wanders over<br />

to the floor-to-ceiling<br />

windows through which<br />

the sun is glowing,<br />

looks far down, and<br />

sees a group of people<br />

cheering and waving at<br />

cheerily talks shop with<br />

the laughing staff. And<br />

as he walks out, he<br />

sees the group on the<br />

golf course are made<br />

up of every one of his<br />

old friends, people he's<br />

admired for years but<br />

never met or worked<br />

with, and people<br />

whose work he's admired<br />

but died long before<br />

his career started.<br />

Out of the middle of<br />

this group walks his<br />

wife, with a massive<br />

smile and the body she<br />

had when she was 20,<br />

who throws her arms<br />

around him and plants<br />

a delicate kiss on his<br />

cheek. Everyone<br />

cheers and applauds,<br />

and as they slap him<br />

on the back and trade<br />

jokes, his worst enemy<br />

arrives, as a 2 foot tall<br />

goblin-esque caddy.<br />

He spends the day in<br />

the bright sunshine on<br />

the course, having the<br />

time of his life laughing<br />

at jokes and carrying<br />

important discussions,<br />

putting the world to<br />

rights with his friends<br />

while holding his delighted<br />

wife next to him<br />

Turkey Tryout<br />

Submitted by Jimbo<br />

The Patriots football<br />

team had just finished<br />

their daily practice session<br />

when a large<br />

turkey came strutting<br />

onto the field.<br />

While the players<br />

gazed in amazement,<br />

the turkey walked up to<br />

Bill Belichick and<br />

demanded a tryout.<br />

Everyone stared in<br />

silence as the turkey<br />

caught pass after pass<br />

and ran right through<br />

the defense.<br />

When the turkey<br />

returned to the<br />

sidelines, Coach Belichick<br />

shouted, "You're<br />

terrific!! Sign up for the<br />

season, and I'll see to<br />

it that you get a huge<br />

bonus."<br />

"Forget the bonus," the<br />

turkey said, "All I want<br />

to know is, does the<br />

season go past<br />

Thanksgiving Day?"<br />

there's only one<br />

After they had enjoyed<br />

the turkey, Jolene went<br />

her mother. She<br />

proudly brought out the<br />

first piece of pumpkin<br />

pie and gave it to her<br />

passed the plate to a<br />

When Jolene came out<br />

with the second piece<br />

and gave it to her father,<br />

he again gave it to<br />

are all the same size."<br />

The Janitor<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

A salesman dropped in<br />

to see a business customer.<br />

Not a soul was<br />

in the office except a<br />

big dog emptying<br />

wastebaskets. The<br />

salesman stared at the<br />

animal, wondering if<br />

his imagination could<br />

be playing tricks on<br />

him. The dog looked<br />

up and said, “Don't be<br />

surprised. This is just<br />

part of my job.”<br />

“Incredible!” exclaimed<br />

the man. “I can't believe<br />

it! Does your boss<br />

know what a prize he<br />

has in you? An animal<br />

that can talk!”<br />

“No, no,” pleaded the<br />

dog. “Please don't! If<br />

he finds out I can talk,<br />

he'll make me answer<br />

the phone as well!”<br />

"Hello Mrs. Frobisher"<br />

said the bearded guy<br />

behind the counter at<br />

the bagel shop.<br />

My husband and I<br />

looked at him but drew<br />

complete blanks. "I'm<br />

sorry, do we know<br />

each other?" I asked.<br />

"Yeah, you was my<br />

Leaning over, my husband<br />

Cat’s Heaven<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

One day a cat dies of<br />

natural causes and<br />

goes to heaven. There<br />

he meets the Lord<br />

Himself. The Lord says<br />

to the cat, "You lived a<br />

good life and if there is<br />

any way I can make<br />

your stay in Heaven<br />

more comfortable,<br />

please let Me know."<br />

When possums are playing 'possum', they are not "playing." They actually pass out from<br />

sheer terror.<br />

DOUBLE TROUBLE<br />

at the Franco Center<br />

The cat thinks for a<br />

moment and says<br />

"Lord, all my life I have<br />

lived with a poor family<br />

and had to sleep on a<br />

hard wooden floor."<br />

The Lord stops the cat<br />

and says, "say no<br />

more," and a wonderful<br />

fluffy pillow appears.<br />

A few days later 6 mice<br />

are killed in a tragic<br />

farming accident and<br />

go to heaven. Again<br />

there is the Lord there<br />

to great them with the<br />

same offer. The mice<br />

answer, "All of our lives<br />

we have been chased.<br />

We have had to run<br />

from cats, dogs and<br />

even women with<br />

brooms. We are tired<br />

of running. Do you<br />

think we could have<br />

roller skates so we<br />

don't have to run<br />

anymore?"<br />

New Pet<br />

Parrot<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

A guy goes into a pet<br />

store and sees a beautiful<br />

parrot but it has a<br />

blue string handing<br />

from one foot and a red<br />

one from the other. He<br />

thinks this is a little<br />

strange so he asks the<br />

shopkeeper what the<br />

strings are for.<br />

"Well this is a highly<br />

trained parrot," the<br />

shopkeeper replies. "If<br />

you pull the red string<br />

he talks in French, if<br />

you pull the blue string<br />

he talks in English."<br />

"Wow," exclaims the<br />

man shopping. “That's<br />

really neat. What happens<br />

if you pull them<br />

both at the same<br />

time?"<br />

Dogs Letters<br />

to God<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

Dear God,<br />

How come people love<br />

to smell flowers, but<br />

seldom, if ever, smell<br />

one another? Where<br />

are their priorities?<br />

Dear God,<br />

When we get to<br />

Heaven, can we sit on<br />

your couch? Or is it the<br />

same old story?<br />

Dear God,<br />

Excuse me, but why<br />

are there cars named<br />

after the jaguar, the<br />

cougar, the mustang,<br />

the colt, the stingray,<br />

and the rabbit, but not<br />

one named for a dog?<br />

How often do you see<br />

a cougar riding<br />

around? We dogs love<br />

a nice ride! I know<br />

every breed cannot<br />

have its own model,<br />

but it would be easy to<br />

rename the Chrysler<br />

Eagle the Chrysler<br />

Beagle!<br />

Dear God,<br />

If a dog barks his head<br />

off in the forest and no<br />

human hears him, is he<br />

still a bad dog?<br />

Dear God,<br />

Is it true that in<br />

Heaven, dining room<br />

tables have on-ramps?<br />

Dear God,<br />

If we come back as humans,<br />

is that good, or<br />

bad?<br />

Dear God,<br />

More meatballs, less<br />

spaghetti, please.<br />

Dear God,<br />

When we get to the<br />

Pearly Gates, do we<br />

have to shake hands to<br />

get in?<br />

Dear God,<br />

We dogs can understand<br />

human verbal instructions,<br />

hand<br />

signals, whistles,<br />

horns, clickers, beepers,<br />

scent IDs, electromagnetic<br />

energy fields,<br />

and Frisbee flight<br />

paths. What do humans<br />

understand?<br />

Dear God,<br />

Are there dogs on<br />

other planets or are we<br />

alone? I have been<br />

howling at the moon<br />

and stars for a long<br />

time, but all I ever hear<br />

back is the beagle<br />

across the street!<br />

Dear God,<br />

Are there mailmen in<br />

Heaven? If there are,<br />

will I have to apologize?<br />

Dear God,<br />

Is it true that dogs are<br />

not allowed in restaurants<br />

because we can't<br />

make up our minds<br />

what NOT to order? Or<br />

is it the carpets thing,<br />

again?<br />

Dear God,<br />

May I have my testicles<br />

back?<br />

Every time I pull up<br />

next to a Kia Soul<br />

and a hamster is not<br />

driving, I'm a little<br />

disappointed.<br />

Fish Heads<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

A customer at Green's<br />

Gourmet Grocery<br />

marveled at the<br />

proprietor's quick wit<br />

and intelligence.<br />

"Tell me, Green, what<br />

makes you so smart?"<br />

"I wouldn't share my secret<br />

with just anyone,"<br />

Green replies, lowering<br />

his voice so the other<br />

shoppers won't hear.<br />

"But since you're a<br />

good and faithful customer,<br />

I'll let you in on<br />

it. Fish heads. You eat<br />

enough of them, you'll<br />

be positively brilliant."<br />

"You sell them here?"<br />

the customer asks.<br />

"Only $5 each," says<br />

Green.<br />

The customer buys<br />

three. A week later, he's<br />

back in the store complaining<br />

that the fish<br />

heads were disgusting<br />

and he isn't any<br />

smarter.<br />

"You didn't eat enough,"<br />

says Green. The customer<br />

goes home with<br />

20 more fish heads.<br />

Stolen Turkey<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

Ducking into confession<br />

with a turkey in his<br />

arms, Brian said, "Forgive<br />

me, Father, for I<br />

have sinned. I stole<br />

this turkey to feed my<br />

family. Would you take<br />

it and settle my guilt?"<br />

"Certainly not," said the<br />

Priest. "As penance,<br />

you must return it to<br />

the one from whom<br />

you stole it."<br />

"I tried," Brian sobbed,<br />

"but he refused. Oh,<br />

Father, what should I<br />

do?"<br />

"If what you say is true,<br />

then it is all right for<br />

you to keep it for your<br />

thin. So the husband<br />

offered to donate some<br />

of his own skin. However,<br />

the only skin on<br />

his body that the doctor<br />

felt was suitable would<br />

have to come from his<br />

buttocks.<br />

They agreed that they<br />

would tell no one about<br />

where the skin came<br />

from, and requested<br />

that the doctor also<br />

honor their secret.<br />

After the surgery was<br />

completed, everyone<br />

was astounded at the<br />

woman's new beauty.<br />

She looked more beautiful<br />

than ever! All her<br />

friends and relatives<br />

just went on and on<br />

about her youthful<br />

beauty!<br />

One day, she was<br />

alone with her husband.<br />

She said, ''Dear,<br />

I just want to thank you<br />

for everything you did<br />

for me. There is no<br />

way I could ever repay<br />

you.''<br />

I am probably single because I didnt forward those chain messages in 2008.<br />

I need every time I see<br />

your mother kiss you<br />

on the cheek.''<br />

A Girl Potato and Boy<br />

Potato had eyes for<br />

each other,<br />

And finally they got<br />

married, and had a little<br />

sweet potato, which<br />

they called "Yam."<br />

Of course, they wanted<br />

the best for Yam.<br />

When it was time, they<br />

told her about the facts<br />

of life.<br />

They warned her about<br />

going out and getting<br />

half-baked, so she<br />

wouldn't get accidentally<br />

mashed, and get a<br />

bad name for herself<br />

like 'Hot Potato,' and<br />

end up with a bunch of<br />

Tater Tots.<br />

Yam said not to worry,<br />

no Spud would get her<br />

into the sack and make<br />

a rotten potato out of<br />

her!<br />

she wouldn't stay<br />

home and become a<br />

Couch Potato either.<br />

She would get plenty of<br />

exercise so as not to<br />

be skinny like her<br />

Shoestring Cousins.<br />

When she went off to<br />

Europe, Mr. And Mrs.<br />

Potato told Yam to<br />

watch out for the hardboiled<br />

guys from Ireland,<br />

and the greasy<br />

guys from France<br />

called the French<br />

Fries.<br />

West, to watch out for<br />

wouldn't get scalloped.<br />

Yam said she would<br />

high class Yukon<br />

Golds, or the ones<br />

from the other side of<br />

their trade on all<br />

"Frito Lay."<br />

Mr. And Mrs. Potato<br />

sent Yam to Idaho P.U.<br />

(that's Potato University)<br />

so that when she<br />

graduated she'd really<br />

be in the Chips.<br />

But in spite of all they<br />

did for her, one day<br />

Yam came home and<br />

announced she was<br />

going to marry Tom<br />

at 23 Lisbon Street in<br />

couldn't possibly marry<br />

Tom Brokaw because<br />

he's just...<br />

Jimmy: Mmmmm!<br />

That turkey smells<br />

good and it's not even<br />

it be?<br />

Mom: About the same<br />

length as it was before<br />

I put it into the oven, I<br />

suppose.<br />

Moped<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

An elderly man on a<br />

Moped, looking about 90<br />

years old, pulls up next<br />

to a Doctor at a street<br />

light.<br />

The old man looks over<br />

at the sleek shiny car<br />

and asks, "What kind of<br />

car ya got there, sonny?"<br />

The doctor replies, "A<br />

Ferrari GTO. It cost half<br />

a million dollars!"<br />

"That's a lot of money,"<br />

says the old man. "Why<br />

does it cost so much?"<br />

"Because this car can do<br />

up to 220 miles an hour!"<br />

states the doctor proudly.<br />

“Thanksgiving is that wonderful time of the year when nobody expects you to stick with<br />

your diet.” – Melanie White<br />

"No problem," replies the<br />

doctor.<br />

So the old man pokes his<br />

head in the window and<br />

looks around. Then, sitting<br />

back on his Moped,<br />

the old man says, "That's<br />

a pretty nice car, all<br />

right.... But I'll stick with<br />

my Moped!"<br />

Just then the light<br />

changes, so the doctor<br />

decides to show the old<br />

man just what his car<br />

can do. He floors it, and<br />

within 30 seconds the<br />

speedometer reads 150<br />

mph. Suddenly, he notices<br />

a dot in his rear<br />

be getting closer!<br />

He slows down to see<br />

Something whips by him<br />

going much faster!<br />

"What on earth could be<br />

going faster than my Ferrari?"<br />

the doctor asks<br />

himself.<br />

He presses harder on<br />

the accelerator and takes<br />

the Ferrari up to 180<br />

mph.<br />

Then, up ahead of him,<br />

he sees that it's the old<br />

man on the Moped!<br />

Amazed that the Moped<br />

could pass his Ferrari, he<br />

gives it more gas and<br />

passes the Moped at 200<br />

mph and he's feeling<br />

pretty good until he looks<br />

in his mirror and sees the<br />

old man gaining on him<br />
