A Police Officer was waiting along the side of a highway waiting to catch speeding drivers.
There weren’t as many violators this day as usual.
The state police officer sees an old car puttering along at 22 MPH.
He thinks to himself, “This driver is just as dangerous as a speeder!”
So he turns on the lights and stops the driver.
Approaching the car, he notices that there are five elderly women, two in the front seat and three in the back-wide eyed and white as ghosts.
The driver, obviously confused, said, “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 be aware 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 said proudly.
The State Police officer, trying to contain a chuckle, explains 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 you … is everyone in this car OK? These women seem terribly shaken and 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 215.”
LOL!
Hope this joke will make you smile! Have a nice day!
