Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a State Police Officer sees a car puttering along at 22 MPH. He thinks to himself, “This driver is just as dangerous as a speeder!†So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over.
Approaching the car, he notices that there are five old ladies — two in the front seat and three in the back - eyes wide and white as ghosts.
The driver, obviously confused, says to him, “Officer, I don’t understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem?â€
“Ma’am,†the officer replies, “You weren’t speeding, but you should know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers.â€
“Slower than the speed limit?†she asked. No sir, I was doing the speed limit exactly… Twenty-Two miles an hour!†the old woman says a bit proudly. The State Police officer, trying to contain a chuckle explains to her that “22″ was the route number, not the speed limit. A bit embarrassed, the woman grinned and thanked the officer for pointing out her error.
“But before I let you go, Ma’am, I have to ask… Is everyone in this car ok? These women seem awfully shaken and they haven’t muttered a single peep this whole time.†the officer asks.
“Oh, they’ll be alright in a minute officer. We just got off Route 119.â€
