Good Sunday evening...Here is something that may brighten your Sunday night.
🚓 Route Confusion: A Highway Tale
A state trooper’s parked on the shoulder, radar gun in hand, scanning for speeders. Suddenly, a car creeps past doing a snail-paced 22 mph on a 65 mph highway.
He mutters, “Well, that’s a new one… they’re gonna get rear-ended into next week!” and flips on the lights.
He pulls the car over and approaches the window. Inside is a sweet elderly woman gripping the wheel like it’s her last lifeline. Her passengers look like they’ve just seen a ghost—or maybe been one.
“Ma’am,” the trooper says gently, “you were driving 22 miles per hour in a 65 zone. Is everything alright?”
She beams. “Oh yes, officer! I was just following the sign. It said 22.”
The trooper blinks. “Ma’am… that was Route 22. Not the speed limit.”
She tilts her head. “Oh dear. I thought the blue signs were for speed.”
He chuckles. “No ma’am, speed limits are posted in black and white. Blue signs are for route numbers.”
She nods, relieved. “Well, thank you, officer. I’ll adjust.”
He glances at the passengers—wide-eyed, pale, clutching the seats like survivors of a rollercoaster.
“Just one more thing,” he says. “Why do your passengers look like they’ve been through a war zone?”
She smiles sweetly. “Oh, we just came off Route 119…”
Have a great night...Take care and GOD bless.
