Route Number Speed Limit

A State Trooper is hiding on the side of the road waiting to catch speeding drivers when he sees a car puttering along at 22 mph.

He pulls the driver over. Approaching the car, he notices that there are five elderly ladies—two in the front seat and three in the back—wide-eyed and white as ghosts. The driver, obviously confused, says to him, "Officer, I don't understand. I was going the exact speed limit. What seems to be the problem?" 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 grins and thanks the officer for pointing out her error. "But before you go, Ma'am, I have to ask, is everyone in this car OK? These women seem awfully shaken." "Oh, they'll be all right in a minute, officer. We just got off Route 128."
