Little Old Ladies

Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers,
  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 very old ladies -
  two in the front seat and three in the back - wide-eyed 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 office 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? No sir,
  I was doing the speed limit exactly... Twenty-Two miles per 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," the officer asks.
  
  "Oh, they'll be alright in a minute, officer. We just got off Route
  119."
