The Deputy says, "License and registration, please."
"What for?" asks 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 asks, "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 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 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 stuff out of the lawyer and says, "
Do you want me to stop, or just slow down?"
