SENIOR MOMENT

Sitting on the side of the road waiting to catch speeding drivers, a Massachusetts state trooper sees a car puttering along at 24 mph. He thinks to himself, "This driver is 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 elderly 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 going the exact speed limit. What seems to be the problem?"

The trooper, trying to contain a chuckle, explains to her that "24" 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 you go, Ma'am, I have to ask, "is everyone in this car OK? These women seem awfully shaken."

Oh, they'll be all right in a minute, officer. We just got off Route 128."

when i was growing up on the sf peninsula, i once asked my dad if the 101 signs meant that 101 was the speed limit... i can still remember laughing at the sound of the 390 in the faux-wood wagon when he floored the pedal.

Route 24

Good story!

Ironically, portions of Route 24 (which is on my Sunday morning loop) is more of a race track than 128 especially the northern most parts.
