Little old ladies

[Galen Marekkk.]

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." 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?"

"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."

"Slower than the speed limit?" she asked. No sir, I was
doing the speed limit exactly...22 miles an hour!" the old
woman says a bit proudly. The 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 all right in a minute officer. We just got
off Route 119."

I like that one. Made me chuckle. Well done.
