Sitting on the side of the highway between Delcambre and New Iberia, Officer
Thibodeaux sees a car putting along at 14 miles per hour. He thinks to himself,
"This driver is just as dangerous as a speeder!" So he turns on his lights and pulls
the driver over.

Approaching the car, he notices there are five old ladies - two in the front and three
in the back - wide eyed and white as ghosts. The driver, Melba Boudreaux,
obviously confused, says to him, "Officer, I don't understand. I was doing exactly
the speed limit! What seems to be the problem?"

"Ma'am," Officer Thibodeaux replies, "you weren't speeding, but you should know
that driving slower that the speed limit can be as much a danger to other drivers".
"Slower that the speed limit? No, sir! I was going the speed limit exactly ... 14 miles
per hour!" the old woman says a bit proudly.

The State Police Officer, trying to contain a chuckle, explains to her that 14 was the
highway number, not the speed limit. A bit embarassed, the woman grinned and
thanked the officer for pointing out her error.
 
"But before I let you go, Ma'am, I have to ask, is everyone in this car OK? These
women seem awfully shaken and haven't muttered a single peep this whole time,"
the officer asked.

Oh, they'll be alright, officer. We just got off Highway 90."
