Old Ladies
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 grins and thanks
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.
