Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeders, a policeman sees a car puttering along at 10 mph. He thinks this driver is as dangerous as a speeder. He pulls the driver over. In the car are five little old ladies - two in the front and three in the back, wide-eyed and white as ghosts.
"Officer," said the driver, "I was doing exactly the speed limit, 10 mph." The officer, trying to suppress a chuckle, explains to her that 10 was the route number, not the speed limit. The woman thanked the officer for pointing out her error.
"Before you go, ma'am," says the officer, "is everybody in the car OK? Your friends seem awfully pale, and they haven't muttered a single peep this whole time."
"They'll be all right in a minute, officer," said the driver. "We just got off Hwy 110."
