Old Age

Lately I have been feeling old. Then friends starting sending me e-mails on old age and the smiles came back and laughing is back in the house. The picture and the following are two and I hope you get a laugh out of them.

Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeders, a State Police Officer
sees a car puttering along at 22 MPH. He thinks to himself, 'This driver is just 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 old ladies -- two in the front
seat and three in the back - eyes wide and white as ghosts.
The driver, obviously confused, says to him, 'Officer, I don't understand, I was
doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem?'
'Ma'am,' the officer replies, '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?' she asked. No sir, I was doing the speed limit
exactly.. Twenty-Two miles an hour!' the old woman says a bit proudly.
The State Police officer, 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 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
this whole time.'
'Oh, they'll be all right in a minute officer. We just got off Route 119.'
