In a funny country like Australia, there are a lot of jokes. Along with jokes about Australians, Kiwis, Poms, politicians and Aboriginal People, there are also a few police jokes. Here are a few I've come across, and if you've got a good one, you can submit it in the end of the page.
Sitting on the side of the road waiting to catch speeding drivers, a police officer sees a car puttering along at 40km/h. He thinks, “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.
The driver, confused, says to him, “Officer, I don’t understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit. What seems to be the problem?”
“Madam,” the officer replies, “You weren’t speeding, but you should know that driving much 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… Fourty kilometres in an hour,” the old woman says a bit proudly. The State Police officer, trying to contain a chuckle explains to her that “40″ 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 195.”
Jokes are the sort of things that are made to be spread (all the jokes here have previously been published in emails and elsewhere), and I can't see anyone claiming copyright on a joke, but if you find a joke on this website that you think shouldn’t be published here, contact us and I will get rid of it.
