Elderly Driver

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 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 22
miles an hour!", the old woman says a bit proudly.

The officer, trying to contain a chuckle explains to her that "22" was the
highway 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
okay? 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 Highway
119.
