A Lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a Cop. He thinks that he’s smarter than the Cop because he’s sure that he has a better education. He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the Cop’s expense.
Cop says, “License and registration, please.”
Lawyer says, “What for?”
Cop says, “You didn’t come to complete stop at the stop sign.”
Lawyer says, “I slowed down, and no one was coming.”
Cop says, “You still didn’t come to a complete stop. License and registration, please.”
Lawyer says, “What’s the difference?”
Cop says, “The difference is, you have to come to a complete stop, that’s the law. License and registration, please!”
Lawyer says, “If you can show me the legal difference between ‘slow down’ and ‘stop’, I’ll give you my license and registration and you can give me the ticket…If not, you let me go and no ticket.”
Cop says, “Exit your vehicle, sir.”
At this point the Cop takes out his nightstick and starts beating the ever-loving crap out of the Lawyer and says: “DO YOU WANT ME TO STOP OR JUST SLOW DOWN?”
