Jokes

Some people have a knack for telling jokes and some of us don't.  I know those that can remember every joke they have ever heard.  Then there are those that need to have be able to read the joke.  I rarely remember them but one in particular I don't think I will forget.  Here it goes.

On a warm sunny day a state trooper was running radar when he checked a car going very slowly.  He stopped the elderly lady and approached the vehicle to see if she and her car were alright.   She told the trooper that she was just fine.  The trooper told the lady that she was only going 17 mph.  The lady responded by telling the trooper that she was going 17 because that is what the sign said.  The trooper had to chuckle as he told the lady that the sign was for the highway number and not for the speed limit.  The lady flashed a smile and laughed as well.  As the trooper was ready to let the lady be on her way he noticed another older woman in the passenger seat that looked very nervous.  The trooper asked if the passenger was ok and the driver said she was fine and that they just got off of highway 141.
