Sunday Drive

>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 little
old ladies-two in the front seat and three in the back. They
-are 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! 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? 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."
