22 MPH

;">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 old ladies -- two in the front seat and three in the back - eyes wide and white as ghosts. The driver, 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... Twenty-Two miles an hour!" the old woman says a bit 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, the woman grinned and thanked the officer for pointing out her error.

"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 asks.

"Oh, they'll be alright in a minute officer. We just got off Route 119."

I was shocked cause I didn't even know that they made my jersey. I didn't know that they made it so fast, so when I saw it I was like, I had to look three times and I was like, 'Did they customize that?' And then I saw a couple of other ones and I was like, ok, they must've made them overnight or something.

I've learned that social media and our private lives, you know, our private lives are not so private anymore, so it takes a little bit of getting used to.
Jeremy Lin

Stuff about me dating Kim Kardashian - I have no idea where that came from and all these other rumors. I don't think I'm that type.
Jeremy Lin

People started saying, 'Oh you know, he's quicker than he looks', and I'm like, 'What does that mean? Do I look slow, or I'm not really sure what that means.
Jeremy Lin

And people are always saying he deceptively quick, deceptively athletic, and I don't know if that's just because I'm Asian or what it is, but obviously there's going to be stereotypes that you have to fight.
Jeremy Lin

I want to be a representative and be a role model for the Asian American community.
Jeremy Lin

If I had a day to myself I would just play video games with my brothers.
Jeremy Lin

My family used to call me an oversized kid and I think that's pretty accurate in some ways.
Jeremy Lin

Sometimes you come up against a mountain and you end up making the mountain seem bigger than God.
Jeremy Lin

I'm not playing to prove anything to anybody.
Jeremy Lin

With all the media attention, all the love from the fans, I felt I needed to prove myself. Prove that I'm not a marketing tool, I'm not a ploy to improve attendance. Prove I can play in this league. But I've surrendered that to God. I'm not in a battle with what everybody else thinks anymore.
Jeremy Lin

I was playing garbage minutes the first two to three weeks. There was definitely a little bit of 'what's going on?' in my prayers.
Jeremy Lin

There is so much temptation to hold on to my career even more now. To try to micromanage and dictate every little aspect. But that's not how I want to do things anymore. I'm thinking about how can I trust God more. How can I surrender more? How can I bring him more glory? It's a fight. But it's one I'm going to keep fighting.
Jeremy Lin

Tim Tebow is one of my biggest inspirations. I actually want to be able to do some of the things that he does in terms of the amount of charity work and the non-profit work, and the way he impacts people off the field. I think that is what is most inspiring to me about him.
Jeremy Lin

I would be a pastor. It is something I think about doing when my playing days are over.
Jeremy Lin

I'm not playing for other people; if I start thinking in those terms I would put too much pressure on myself. I play basketball because that is what I love to do.
Jeremy Lin

I'm very humbled and honored. I'm very thankful to the Asian-American Community for all their support!
Jeremy Lin

Not sure if that will benefit me or hurt me, but I know I have the skills and am ready to play in the NBA regardless of my ethnicity.
Jeremy Lin

I speak Mandarin and can read and write a little. I took a few classes at Harvard to get better in my reading and writing skills.
Jeremy Lin

I was a big Michael Jordan fan growing up. I don't feel my game resembles his though.
