5 OLD LADIES
Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to
catch speeding drivers, a Police Officer sees a car puttering along at
22 KPH.
Says he 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 kilometers an hour!" ..the
old woman says a bit proudly.
The Police officer, trying to contain a chuckle
explains to her that 22 is the highway number, not the speed limit.
A bit embarrassed, the woman grins and thanks
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 made a peep this whole time," the officer asks.
"Oh, they'll be all right in a minute officer.
We just got off Highway 189.."
