22 MPH

One Sunday, 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 - wide
eyed and white as ghosts. The driver, obviously confused,
says to him, "Officer, I don't understand, I was doing
exactly the speed limit! I always go 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 significantly slower than the speed
limit can also be a danger to other drivers."

"Slower than the speed limit? 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 with concern.

"Oh, they'll be all right in a minute officer. We just got
off Route 119."
