Sitting on the side of the road waiting to catch speeding drivers,
a state trooper sees a car puttering along at 22 mph. He thinks
to himself, "This driver is 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 elderly ladies - two in the
front seat and three in the back, wide-eyed and white as ghosts.
The driver, obviously confused, says to him, "Officer, I don't
understand. I was going the exact speed limit. What seems to
be the problem?" The trooper 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 you go, Ma'am,
I have to ask, is everyone in this car OK? These women seem
awfully shaken."
"Oh, they'll be all right in a minute, officer.
We just got off Route 127!"
