NASCAR Freeway - Humor In Speeding
Labor Day Weekend
As I drove home today, I set the cruise control on my car for 65 miles per hour, the legal speed limit. I was driving in the slow lane, but had several drivers come up behind me and ride the bumper of my car before impatently passing me. Dozens of cars nearly blew the doors off of my car as they raced toward the weekend's activities, their drivers no doubt griping about the high price of gasoline, while their cars sucked up gas like hogs.
"Darn it, Harry, gas was $3.09 a gallon at that last place we stopped to fill up, and this thing only got 15 miles per gallon. I don't understand, it's supposed to get 25 miles per gallon on the road. How long till we get there?"
"Well, Babe, the cruise is set for 80, so unless we come up on a traffic jam, we should be there in three hours. I can remember years ago, it used to take 4-5 hours to take this trip. Since the roads have been improved, it hardly takes any time at all."
