There once was a police officer sitting in a speed trap
on a county road. He was waiting for someone to fly by
above the 55 mph speed limit. A car approached his
radar traveling at 22 mph. The car slowly past and
continued down the road. The officer thought about the
car for a while. A car going that slowly could be as
dangerous as one going 70 or 75.
He pulled out onto the road and quickly caught up to the
slow moving car. After they both stopped on the shoulder,
he got out and walked up to the driver's window to find
out why they were going so slow. Behind the steering
wheel was a pleasant older woman with four other ladies
clutching their purses in the back seat. The officer asked
the woman why she was driving like she was.
She responded by showing the officer the sign up ahead,
"See, I wasn't speeding. I was going the speed limit," she
explained. "Ma'am, that sign is not the speed limit sign,
it's to mark County Road #22," responded the officer.
"Oh, now I understand," she answered.
The officer started walking back to his squad car but
stopped when noticing the strange behavior of the ladies
in the back seat. He leaned back into the window and asked
"Are the ladies are OK? They haven't said a word and
they're still clutching their purses". "Oh, they're all OK,"
she answered. "We just exited off of County #119."
