A man buys the fastest and most expensive bike on the market—a 2024 Turbo Zoomer, priced at $500,000. It’s sleek, powerful, and can hit speeds of up to 320 miles per hour.
One day, while stopped at a red light, an old man on a rusty bicycle, looking like he’s at least 90, pulls up next to him. The old man glances at the bike and says, “That’s a fancy ride you got there, young man. What’s it called?”
The biker replies, “It’s a Turbo Zoomer. Cost me half a million dollars!”
“Half a million?!” exclaims the old man. “Why’s it so expensive?”
“Well,” says the biker, “because it can go faster than anything else—320 miles per hour!”
The old man, curious, asks, “Mind if I take a closer look?”
“Sure,” the biker says proudly.
The old man leans in, checks out the details, and nods in admiration. “Nice bike,” he says, before pedaling off.
When the light turns green, the biker decides to show off. He revs the engine and speeds away, hitting 320 mph in no time. But then, in his rearview mirror, he spots a tiny dot gaining on him.
**Whoooooosh!** Something zips past him, going even faster!
“What was that?” he wonders, astonished.
Moments later, he sees the dot coming back toward him. **Whooooosh!** It flies by again!
Finally, he sees the dot once more in his rearview mirror, but this time it’s heading straight for him. **CRASH!** The impact sends him skidding to a stop.
When he looks back, he sees the old man and his bicycle tangled in the wreckage. The biker rushes over and asks, “Are you okay? Can I help you?”
The old man, groaning in pain, looks up and says, “Yeah... could you unhook my suspenders from your handlebars?”
