Speeding little old lady

[markem]

This is an oldie, but a goody.

A trooper pulled over a car on I-70. As he approached the car, he was surprised to see a little old lady driving what appeared to be a group headed to church.

"Maam, did you know that you were speeding? The speed limit is 55 MPH", inquired the trooper.

The little old lady argued that the speed limit was 70 and she was going the speed limit and was getting angrier and angrier at the trooper.

Finally, the trooper asked why the little old lady thought the speed limit was 70 and she replied that it was on the sign. The trooper sighed and explained that the sign was merely the freeway number and that the speed limit sign would say "speed limit" on it. He chuckled, told the little old lady that this time it was a warning, but to be careful in the future.

As he turned to go back to his unit, he noticed that all the passengers were shaking and looked pale. He asked one what was wrong and she said that they just got off the 101.
