have a good laugh

Watching and waiting to catch speeding drivers, a Traffic Officer saw a car puttering along the highway at 22 MPH. He taught this driver is just as dangerous as a speeder. So, he decided to pull the driver over.

After approached the car, he noticed that there are five elderly ladies – two in the front and three at the back- eyes wide and white like ghosts.

The driver, obviously confused and said to him, “Officer, I don’t understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem?”

“ Ma’am,” the officer replied, “You weren’t speeding, but you should know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be danger to other users.”

“Slower than the speed limit?’’ she asked. “No sir, I was doing the speed limit exactly… Twenty-Two miles an hour!” the old woman says a bit proudly. The Traffic officer, trying to contain a chuckle explains to her that “22” was the route number, not the speed limit. A bit embarrassed, the lady 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 ladies seem awfully shaken and they haven’t muttered a single peep this whole time.” The officer asked.

“Oh, they’ll be alright in a minute, officer. We just got off Route 119.”
