I found this gem in my inbox this morning. It made me chuckle so I thought I’d pass it on.
~~~~~
A lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a sheriff’s deputy. He thinks that he is smarter than the deputy because he is a lawyer from New York & is certain that he has a better education then any cop from Houston, TX . He decides to prove this to himself & have some fun at the Texas deputy’s expense.
The deputy says, ‘License and registration, please.’
‘What for?’ says the lawyer.
The deputy says, ‘You didn’t come to a complete stop at the stop sign..’
Then the lawyer says, ‘I slowed down, & no one was coming.’
‘You still didn’t come to a complete stop, Says the deputy. License & registration, please.’
The lawyer says, ‘What’s the difference?’
‘The difference is you have to come to complete stop, that’s the law. License & registration, please!’ the Deputy repeats.
Lawyer says, ‘If you can show me the legal difference between slow down & stop, I’ll give you my license & registration; & you give me the ticket. If not, you let me go & don’t give me the ticket.’
‘That sounds fair. Please exit your vehicle, sir,’ the deputy says.
At this point, the deputy takes out his nightstick & starts beating the daylights out of the lawyer & says, ‘Do you want me to stop, or just slow down?’
