=== Highway Driving ===
An old lady is driving down the highway. Sitting on the side of
the road 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!
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.
"Oh, they'll be all right in a minute officer. We
just got off Route 119."
