I received this one from several people, including Blue Diamond who lives out west and Dragnet who lives southeast...

Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a state trooper sees a car puttering along at 22 MPH. Thinking to himself to himself, This driver is just as dangerous as a speeder, 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 - all of them with eyes wide and pale 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?" she asked. "No sir, I was doing the speed limit exactly... Twenty-two miles an hour!" the old woman says a bit proudly.

The trooper, trying to contain a chuckle, explains to her that 22 was the route number, not the speed limit.

A bit embarrassed, the woman grinned and thanked the trooper 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 muttered a single peep this whole time." the trooper asks.

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