A lawyer
ran a stop sign and was pulled over by a Sheriff's Deputy. Certain that
he was smarter than the Deputy because he had a better education, the
lawyer decided to prove this to himself and have some fun at the
deputy's expense.
The deputy said, "License and registration, please."
"What for?"
"You didn't come to a complete stop at the stop sign."
The lawyer said, "I slowed down, and no one was coming."
"You still didn't come to a complete stop. License and registration,
please."
The lawyer asked, "What's the difference?"
"The difference is, you have to come to a complete stop, that's the
law. License and registration, please!"
"If you can show me the legal difference between slow down and stop,
I'll give you my license and registration and you give me the ticket.
If not, you let me go and no ticket."
The deputy smiled. "Exit your vehicle, sir." At this point, the deputy
took out his nightstick, started beating the ever-loving snot out of
the lawyer, and asked, "Do you want me to stop or just slow down?"
