A SENIOR MOMENT ADAPTED TO LA RAZA DEL VALLE

Submitted by: Europe42@aol.com

Sitting on the side of Highway 4 (Boca Chica) waiting to catch speeding drivers, a Texas state trooper sees a car puttering along at 4 mph. He thinks to himself, "This driver is as dangerous as a speeder!" So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over.
 Approaching the car, he notices that there are five viejitas (ladies) - two in the front seat, and three in
the back, wide-eyed and white as ghosts. The driver, obviously confused, says to him, "Oficial, I don't understand. I was going the exact speed limit. What seems to be the problem?"
 The trooper, trying to contain a chuckle, explains to her that "4" was the Highway number, not the speed limit. A bit embarrassed, the woman grinned and thanked the officer for pointing out her error.
 "Señora, before you go, I have to ask, "is everyone in this car OK? These ladies seem awfully shaken."
 "Oh, they'll be all right in a minute, oficial. We just got off Military Highway 281."
