Sitting on the edge of the highway waiting to catch speeders, a state trooper
saw a car driving along at 22 mph. He thinks to himself, that car is just as
dangerous as a speeder. So, he turns his lights on and pulls the car over.
Approaching the car, he notices there are 5 old ladies, two at the front and
3 at the back, wide eyed and looking like ghosts.

The driver, obviously confused, said, "Officer, I don’t understand, I wasn’t
doing over the speed limit! What did you pull me over for?"

"Ma’am," the trooper said, "You should know that driving slower than the
posted speed limit can also be dangerous."

"Slower than the speed limit? No sir! I was doing exactly 22 miles an hour,"
the old woman said proudly.

The trooper, trying not to laugh, explains that 22 is the route number, not
the speed limit. A little embarrassed, the woman smiled and thanked the
trooper for pointing out her error.

"Before I go Ma’am, I have to ask, is everyone ok? These women seem
badly shaken and haven’t said a word since I pulled you over."

"Oh! they’ll be all right in a minute, officer. We just got off Route 142."
