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 and is certain that he has a better education then any
>cop from Alabama. He decides to prove this to himself and have
>some fun at the Alabama 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 says, "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 sh -- out of the lawyer and says, "Do you want me to
>stop, or just slow down?"
