The race

A man in a Porsche 911 stops at traffic lights and a guy on a scooter pulls up alongside him and takes an admiring glance at the Porsche interior, telling the driver he has a really cool car.

As the lights change to green the Porsche driver decides to show off a little and guns his car forward, leaving the man and scooter way behind.

Suddenly, he sees the scooter zip passed him! Feeling smart, the driver floors the accelerator again and whizzes past the scooter.

A few seconds later, the scooter zips past him again. Now, the driver is getting ticked off. His ego is hurt by the fact that this little scooter can keep getting past him.

The scooter rider, looking dazed, replies

"I can't really, but it could have been because my braces were caught on your wing mirror!"

The driver floors the accelerator once more, reaching over 100mph, secure in the knowledge that the scooter cannot possibly catch him this time.

He glances in the rearview mirror and is horrified to see the scooter catching up!

The decision is made. The driver MUST find out how this can be. He slams on his brakes. The scooter crashes into the rear of his car, leaving it's rider lying at the roadside.

The driver runs across to help, checks the rider's welfare and then asks how it was possible that he could travel as fast as a Porsche on a wimpy little scooter?
