A state trooper pulled over a car going just 19 miles per hour on the highway. As the officer approached the car, he noticed it was two elderly women and they both looked very pale and wide-eyed.
“Good afternoon ladies. Do you know why I am pulling you over?” asked the trooper.
“I’m terribly sorry if I did something wrong but I know I was not speeding” said the driver.
“Well, that is true, you weren’t speeding…but you were going entirely too slow on a highway and that is equally as dangerous.”
“No, Officer. I was going exactly the speed limit…19 miles per hour!”
The trooper laughed a little to himself. “Mam’, this is Highway 19. That is not the speed limit, but simply the name of this highway.”
