Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a State Police Officer sees a car puttering along at 22 MPH. 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 that there are five elderly ladies, eyes wide and white as ghosts. Susan, 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," the officer replies, "you weren't speeding, but you should know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers." 
"Slower than the speed limit?" she asked. "No sir, I was doing the speed limit exactly... 22 MPH!" Susan says proudly. 
The State Police officer, trying to contain a chuckle explains to her that "22" was the route number, not the speed limit. A bit embarrassed, she grinned and thanked the officer for pointing out her error. 
The officer said, "But before I let you go, ma'am, I have to ask. Is everyone in this car OK? These women seem awfully shaken, and they haven't muttered a single peep this whole time," the officer says. 
Susan replied, "Oh, they'll be all right in a minute officer. We just got off Route 119."

A rabbi, a minister and a priest were playing poker when the police raided the game. 

Turning to rabbi Goldstein, the lead police officer said, "Rabbi Goldstein,, were you gambling?" 
Turning his eyes to heaven, the whispered whispered, "God, forgive me for what I am about to do."  To the police officer, he then said, "No, officer; I was not gambling." 

The officer then asked the minister, "Pastor Johnson, were you gambling?" 
Again, after an appeal to heaven, the minister replied, "No, officer; I was not gambling." 

Turning to the priest, the officer again asked, "Father Murphy, were you gambling?" 
Shrugging his shoulders, the priest replied, "With whom?"

As a butcher is shooing away a dog from his shop, he sees a $10 bill and a note in his mouth, reading:

"5 lamb chops, please." Amazed, he takes the money, puts a bag of chops in the dog's mouth, and quickly closes the shop.

He follows the dog and watches him wait for a green light, look both ways, and trot across the road to a bus- stop. The dog checks the timetable and sits on the bench. When a bus arrives, he walks around to the front and looks at the number, then boards the bus.

The butcher follows, dumbstruck.

As the bus travels out into the suburbs, the dog takes in the scenery. After awhile he stands on his back paws to push the "stop" bell, then the butcher follows him off. The dog runs up to a house and drops his bag on the step. He goes back down the path, takes a big run, and throws himself -Whap!- against the door. He does this again and again.

No answer.

So he jumps on a wall, walks around the garden, beats his head against a window, jumps off, and waits at the front door. A big guy opens it and starts cursing and shouting at the dog.

The butcher runs up and screams at the guy: "What are you doing? This dog's a genius!"

The owner responds, "Genius, my a**… It's the second time this week he's forgotten his keys!
