Redneck Speed Trap

A redneck was driving down a quiet country road when he saw a sign up ahead:

Speed Trap Ahead.

He immediately slowed down.

A few miles later, he saw another sign:

Speed Trap Still Ahead.

Now he was confused, but stayed careful.

A little farther down the road, there was a third sign:

Last Warning Speed Trap Ahead.

At this point, he was barely moving, crawling along at almost walking speed.

Finally, he spotted a police officer standing near a radar gun.

The officer waved him over.

Son, do you know how fast you were going?

The redneck shook his head.

No sir… but I been trying real hard not to get caught in that speed trap.

The officer frowned.

What speed trap?

The redneck pointed back down the road.

All them signs.

The officer sighed.

Those signs are warning you about us.

The redneck paused… then looked back at the road.

Well I’ll be…

He scratched his head.

I thought it was a trap you fell into.
