Speed Limit

Speed Limit


A State Police officer observed a car puttering along the highway at 22 mph.

He turned on his lights and pulled the car over. Approaching the vehicle, he noticed that it contained five old ladies - two in the front seat and three in the back - wide-eyed and white as ghosts.

The driver, obviously confused, said, "Officer, I don't understand. I was doing exactly the speed limit. What's 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 a danger to other drivers."

"Slower than the speed limit? I'm following the posted speed exactly!"

The officer, trying to contain a chuckle, explained that "22" was the route number, not the speed limit.

Embarrassed, the woman smiled and thanked him for pointing out her error.

Before letting her go, the officer asked, "Is everyone in this car okay? These women seem awfully shaken and they haven't muttered a single peep this whole time."

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

TXJUDE - that is the first time I had a nice little laugh since Monday 9/10, as us all. I thank you, it was very much needed.
Take care, Cyndy

Cyndy,

I debated on whether to post a joke, but then I thought maybe everyone could use a little something to smile about.

The moderator/creator for the joke list joke-a-day wrote this a couple days after the attack on America.

"Life does not cease to be funny when people die, any more
than it ceases to be serious when they laugh." -- George
Bernard Shaw.

Isn't it ironic how you can laugh until you cry? And how we laugh sometimes when we shoudn't - like when someone takes a fall. I believe irony is God's way of showing he has a sense of humor too.

Thanks for the smile.
