A POLICE officer pulled over a car that was puttering along the road late at night doing 22 miles an hour. Inside were five elderly ladies, two in the front and three in the back, wide eyed and white as ghosts.
“What seems to be the problem, officer?” asked the driver.
“Madam,” he said, “driving slower than the speed limit can be a danger to others.”
“But I was doing the speed limit exactly.” And she pointed to a road sign. “Twenty-two miles an hour.”
The Police officer said: “That’s not a speed limit sign. That’s the road number. This is the A22.”
“Oh dear,” said the lady.
“Now before I let you go, is everyone all right? These other ladies seem awfully quiet.”
"They'll be all right in a minute officer,” said the driver. “We’ve just come off the A120.”
