There was this car that was driving very slowly down the highway. A state trooper pulled it over and approached Ruth, the old lady at the wheel.
“What did I do wrong, officer?” Ruth asked.
“You were going 26 miles per hour on a major highway, there is a law against that. You must go at least 50 miles per hour,” the officer explained.
“But when I got onto the highway, the sign said 26!” Ruth retorted.
“That is because this is Interstate 26, ma'am. ‘26’ isn’t the speed limit,” he responded.
“Ooohh, I see...” Ruth said, understanding. As she leaned back into her car seat, the cop saw another woman sitting beside her, looking pale as a ghost.
“What happened to her?” the officer asked, curious.
“I don’t know, but she has been that way ever since we got off Interstate 160.”
