I just loved this one. Brittney, be sure this doesn't happen to you.
How goes the driving? Love, Auntie M

Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a
State Trooper saw a car puttering along at 22 MPH. He thought to
himself, "This driver is just as dangerous as a speeder!" So he turned
on his lights and pulled the driver over.
Approaching the car, he noticed that there were five old ladies - two in
the front seat and three in the back - wide-eyed and white as ghosts.
The driver, obviously confused, said to him, "Officer, I don't
understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit. What seems to be 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? No sir, I was doing exactly the speed
limit - twenty-two miles per hour!" the old woman said a bit proudly.
The State Trooper, trying to contain a chuckle explained to her that
"22" was the route number, not the speed limit.
A bit embarrassed, the woman grinned and thanked the officer 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 the whole time."
"Oh, they'll be all right in a minute. We just got off Route 119."
