Eclipse Traffic Stop
Four little old ladies traveled all the way to Weiser, Idaho, from California to view the solar eclipse. They were thrilled by what they saw and couldn’t wait to tell their friends back home about this amazing event.
They were headed south after the event when they were stopped by an Idaho State patrolman. He came up to the driver’s window and asked, “Do you know why I stopped you?”
“No, officer,” replied the little lady, very confused.
“You were doing 55 in a 35 mph zone,” he replied.
“But officer, the sign says 55,” she replied, pointing across the highway.
“No, ma’am. That sign says HIGHWAY 55.”
“Oh, I’m so embarrassed,” she laughed.
Then the officer looked in the back seat and noticed that the two ladies in the back were white-faced and visibly shaken.
“Are your friends all right?” he asked.
“Oh, they’re fine, officer. We just got off Highway 95!”
