A traffic policeman found a car driving along the highway at
a speed of 22m/h, so the policeman drove the car to stop
it on the side of the road. He saw five old ladies sitting in the car,
two in the front seat and three in the back seat, and the three in the back seat were
pale. The old lady driving the car asked the policeman with a confused look on her
face: “Officer, I am not speeding.” The policeman said: “Madam, you are
not speeding, but driving too slowly will also bring danger to other cars.” “Too slow?!”
The old lady said, “But I saw that sign said ’22’!” The policeman held back his laughter
and explained: “22 is the highway number.” The old lady thanked the policeman for
pointing out her mistake, and the policeman asked again: “Are the people in the car
okay? Why are they shaking so badly?” The old lady said:
“No, we just got off Highway 119.”
