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 ladies seem awfully shaken.'
'Oh, they'll be all right in a minute, officer. We just got off Route 127.
