Five Old Ladies

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?" "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... 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."
