The speed limit
Parked 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, looking scared to death.
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
grinned and thanked 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 alright in a minute officer. We just got off Highway 127."
