Hi All,

                        Troubling Speed Limits
                        ----------------------

Sitting on the highway waiting to catch speeders, a state police
officer saw a car puttering along at 22 M.P.H. 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 seems to be the problem?"
"Ma'am," the officer said, "you should know that driving slower than
the 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 officer containing a chuckle explains that 22 was the route
number, not the speed limit. A bit embarrassed, the woman grinned,
thanking the officer 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 uttered a word all this time" "Oh! they will
be alright in a minute, Officer, we just got off Route 142.
