While sitting on the side of a Tennessee highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, Officer Hughes 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 car over.

As he approached the car, he noticed that there were five elderly ladies, two in the font seat and three in the back, wide eyed and white as ghosts. The driver, obviously confused, said, "Officer, I don't understand. I was not speeding! What is the problem?"

"Ma'am," Officer Hughes replied, "You were not 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 the speed limit, exactly twenty-two miles an hour...just like the sign said," she replied proudly.

Officer Hughes, trying to contain a chuckle, explained that '22' on the sign was the route number, not the speed limit.

A bit embarrassed, the woman grinned and thanked the officer for pointing out her error.

Officer Hughes then said, "But before I let you go, Ma'am, I have to ask...is everyone in this car OK? These other ladies seem very shaken and they haven't uttered a single word this entire time."

BearK replied, "Oh, they'll all be okay in a few minutes. We just got off Route 110."

FACT: In my visit with BearK this past May, she chauffeured me everywhere safely....but, quickly. :mrgreen:
