A State Police Officer is sitting on the side of the highway. He is waiting to catch speeding drivers. He 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 sees that there are five old ladies in the car. They are 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 proudly.

The State Police officer chuckles and explains to her that "22" is the route number, not the speed limit.

A bit embarrassed, the woman grins and thanks the officer for pointing out her error.

"Before I let you go, Ma'am, I have to ask ... Is everyone in this car OK? These women seem awfully shaken ... "

"Oh, they'll be all right in a minute officer. We just got off Route 119."
