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.”
An old lady was stopped and pulled into a parking space. A young man in his new red Mercedes immediately went around her and parked in the space she was waiting for.
So upset was the little old lady that she went up to the man and said,
“I was going to park there!”
The man was a real smart alec and he said,
“That’s what you can do when you’re young and bright.”
Well, this really upset the lady even more.
Therefore she got in her car and backed it up and she then stomped on the gas and ploughed straight into his Mercedes.
“What did you do that for?”, the young man ran back to his car and asked.
The little old lady just smiled and told him,
“That’s what you can do when you’re old and rich!”
