Life As It Is: Route 22

Sitting on the side of the highway with his radar gun, waiting to catch speeding drivers, a Tennessee State Police Officer sees a car puttering along a 22 mph. He thinks to himself, “This driver is just as dangerous as a speeder!” 

He turns on his lights and pulls the driver over. Approaching the car, the officer observed that there were five old 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 exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem?” “Madam, “ the officer replied, “You weren’t speeding, but you should be aware that going slower than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers.”

Slower than the speed limit? No sir, I was doing the speed limit exactly… Twenty-two miles an hour!” the old woman says proudly.

The State Police office, trying to contain a chuckle explains to her that “22” was the route number, not the speed limit on this highway. A bit embarrassed, the woman grins and thanks the officer for pointing out her error. I’m really sorry, sir. I’ll pay better attention in the future.”

“But before I let you go, Ma’am, I have to ask… is everyone in this car okay? These women seem awfully shaken and they haven’t muttered a single peep this whole time,” the officer asks.

“Oh, they’ll be all right in a minute or two, Officer. We just got off Route 119.”

Laugh More

Laughing Zebra“We don’t laugh because we’re happy,
we’re happy because we laugh.”
William James

When I read the following story I couldn’t stop laughing; I love crazy things that make you laugh: SAD NEWS – Please join me in remembering YET ANOTHER great icon of the entertainment community. The Pillsbury Dough Boy died yesterday of a yeast infection and traumatic complications from repeated pokes to the belly. He was 71. Dough Boy is survived by his wife Play Dough, two children, John Dough and Jane Dough, plus they had one in the Oven. Services were held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.

Genuine humor points out the weakness of humanity, but without contempt. It is a commentator on life, not a critic of it. Its purpose is to uplift, not tear down, and to lighten the burdens of others, not add to them.
Good humor does not belittle or promote stereotypes because it comes from the heart, not the mind. It is a shock absorber that helps us get over the bumps in life.

Love, live, laugh! Laugh at the unexpected, or maybe a one liner.
*When you don’t know what you are doing, do it neatly.
*The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
*Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.
*I don’t suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it.
*Don’t take life too seriously, you won’t get out alive.
*Some cause happiness wherever they go. Others, whenever they go.
*I intend to live forever. So far, so good

Mark Twain said, “Timing plus misfortune equals humor.” So now, every time something happens that I consider a misfortune I say, “Just wait, in time we will look back at this moment, and have a good laugh.”
