A New York lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a
Texas sheriff's deputy.? He thinks that he is smarter than
the deputy because he is a lawyer from New York and is
certain that he has a better education than any cop from San
Antonio, Texas.
He decides to prove this to himself and 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, and no one was
coming."
"You still didn't come to a complete stop." Says the deputy.
"License and registration, please."
The lawyer says,
"What's the difference?"
The difference is you have to come to complete stop, that's
the law. License and registration, please!" the Deputy
says.
Lawyer s ays, "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 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 and
starts beating the ever-loving shit out of the lawyer and
says, "Do you want me to stop, or just slow down?"
