Getting Old Ain't for sissies and other stuff

Grannies on the Road

            Sitting on the side of the road waiting to catch speeding drivers,
a state trooper sees a car puttering along at 22 mph.
              He thinks to himself, "This driver is as dangerous as a speeder!"
              So he turns on his lights and 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, said 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 grinned and thanked 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 127".
