A Highway Patrolman had stopped a gal on Interstate 80 just east of Seattle. After informing her that she was speeding 15 miles an hour over the 65 limit. Calmly, she pointed to the Interstate 80 sign and told the officer that she was doing exactly the speed limit, 80. Unimpressed, the officer said 'Maam, that's the Interstate Number, NOT the speed limit, which is 65. The gal started shaking and tearing up and got all upset. The officer said it wasn't a big deal, the ticket would only be about $45.00. She turned to him and said "That's not what's bothering me- I just got off of highway 115."


I didn't see a JOKES folder here - so, thought I'd give it a whirl.

A Highway Patrolman had stopped a bus full of nuns on Interstate 5 just south of Seattle. After informing the driver that she was driving far too slowly for a major freeway and posing a danger to everyone . Calmly, she pointed to the Interstate 5 sign and told the officer that she was doing exactly the speed limit, 5. Unimpressed, the officer said 'Maam, that's the Interstate Number, NOT the speed limit, which is 65.' The officer started to walk away, when he noticed that all the nuns were shaking and tearing up and all upset. The officer said it wasn't a big deal, the ticket would only be about $45.00, so he asked why all of the nuns looked so upset. She turned to him and said "Oh, my, well  I just got off of highway 101 ."

I've actually been told a similar joke by my grandpa who lives in Boston. It's almost the same concept, but different highway numbers. Basically it was this...

That one works better, because MA state route shields look closer to speed limit signs.

And of course, I-80 east of Seattle just doesn't add up!

A Highway Patrolman had stopped a modified car on Interstate 696 just north of Detroit. After informing the driver that he was speeding 641 miles an hour over the 55 limit and that he was also crashing into numerous cars, even destroying several. Calmly, he pointed to the Interstate 696 sign and told the officer that he was doing exactly the speed limit, 696. Unimpressed, the officer said Driver, that's the Interstate Number, NOT the speed limit, which is 55. The driver started shaking and tearing up and got all upset. The officer said it wasn't a big deal, the ticket would only be about $45.00. He turned to him and said "That's not what's bothering me- I just got off of 10."

She turned to him and said "That's not what's bothering me- oh my god i cant feel my face"

This is better, except that the speed limit on I-5 is 60 for quite a ways south of Seattle.  And they're State Patrol here.

To be fair, I originally heard the joke about California, and it involved 55 mph, not 65. This was many years ago.

Perhaps the OP was thinking I-90 east of Seattle? Or if he still wanted to do I-80, maybe set the scene east of San Francisco/Oakland or even Sacramento?

Anyway, here's a Windy City variant of the joke, with an homage to a certain Dan Aykroyd movie:

A Highway Patrolman had stopped the Blues Brothers on Interstate 94 just north of Chicago. After informing them that they were speeding 29 miles an hour over the 65 limit. Calmly, they pointed to the Interstate 94 sign and told the officer that they were doing exactly the speed limit, 94. Unimpressed, the officer said 'Gentlemen, that's the Interstate Number, NOT the speed limit, which is 65. The Blues Brothers started shaking and tearing up and got all upset. The officer said it wasn't a big deal, the ticket would only be about $45.00. They turned to him and said "That's not what's bothering us- we just got off of Interstate 57."

I has heard stories over the years of City of Chicago cops writing speeding tickets on Cicero Ave (IL 50), with the drivers mistaking the Illinois state highway route markers for the very similar-looking MUTCD speed limit signs.  Its speed limit is 35 MPH (about 60 km/h).

Perhaps a similar case can be argued for the Maryland shields as well.

A Jaded Roadgeek had stopped a Henry on Topic 8008 in General Highway Talk. After informing him that he was beating a dead joke over the 9 lives limit. Calmly, he pointed to the posts above him and told the roadgeek that he was doing exactly what they did. Unimpressed, the roadgeek said 'Dude, it wasn't funny when they did it, and it's NOT funny now. The Henry started shaking and tearing up and got all upset. The roadgeek said it wasn't a big deal, the ticket would only be about $45.00. He turned to him and said "That's not what's bothering me- I just got done plowing an Interstate through Yellowstone."

Hate to throw in a NASCAR pun, but here goes, knowing that there aren't a whole lot of NASCAR fans I know of since I quit following NASCAR, but, as for the topic at hand, here is my own joke:

A Montana Highway Patrolman had stopped Jimmie Johnson on Interstate 94 just north of Billings. After informing him that he was speeding 24 miles an hour over the 75 limit. Calmly, Jimmie pointed to the Interstate 94 sign and told the officer that he was doing exactly the speed limit, 94. Unimpressed, the officer said 'Sir, that's the Interstate Number, NOT the speed limit, which is 75. Jimmie started shaking and facepalming and got all upset. The officer said "Listen, Five-Timer. It's not a big deal, the ticket would only be about $45.00". He turned to him and said "That's not what's bothering me- I just got off of Highway 212!"

...hope it sticks.

A Tennessee Highway Patrolman had stopped Danica Patrick on Interstate 240 just south of Memphis. After informing her that she was speeding 170 miles an hour over the 70 limit. Calmly, Danica pointed to the Interstate 240 sign and told the officer that she was doing exactly the speed limit, 240. Unimpressed, the officer said 'Ma'am, that's the Interstate Number, NOT the speed limit, which is 70. Danica started shaking and cursing under her breath and got all upset. The officer said "Hey, Miss Indy Star, it's not a big deal, the ticket would only be about $45.00". She turned to him and said "That's not what's bothering me- I just got off of Highway 78!"

So she's upset that she was...doing 8 over the limit?
