Speed Limit

posted by Susan Diamond

Daily Joke

Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers,
a police officer sees a car puttering along at 22 mph.

He says 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 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 109.”
