Did you get it right?
Here is the rest of the clean joke about the elderly woman who was rushing to bingo when a young police officer pulled her over.
The Answer
The correct answer is: After the backup arrived, the woman calmly showed a valid license and registration. Then she smiled and said, “Let me guess. That young officer also told you I was speeding.”.
Here is why
- The young officer believed every wild thing the woman said at first.
- When the chief arrived, she produced her valid license and registration without any trouble.
- Her final line turns the whole stop into a joke on the officer: if he believed those stories, maybe he also exaggerated the speeding.
Why people miss it
The setup makes the woman sound guilty, but the punchline reveals she was simply playing with the officer’s assumptions.
