Sitting on the highway, waiting to catch speeders, a state patrol saw a car puttering along at 22 M.P.H. He thinks to himself, that car is just as dangerous as a speeder, so he turns his lights and siren on and pulls the car over. Approaching the car, he notices there are 5 old ladies, 2 in front and 3 in back, wide-eyed and looking like ghosts. The driver, obviously confused, said "Officer, I don't understand, I wasn't speeding! What seems to be the problem?" "Ma'am," the officer said, "you should know driving under the limit is as dangerous as speeding." "Slower than the speed limit? NO SIR! Why I was doing exactly 22 M.P.H.!" the woman said proudly. The officer, containing a chuckle, explains that 22 was the route number, not the speed limit. A bit embarrassed,the woman grinned, thanking the officer for pointing out the error. "Before I go, Ma'am, I have to ask, is everyone ok? Your passengers seem badly shaken." "Oh!, they'll be ok in a minute, Officer, we just got off Route 142!"
