Knowing The Law.

[padi56]

A lawyer runs a stop sign in North Dakota and gets pulled over by a sheriff's deputy.

He believes he is smarter than the deputy because he is a lawyer from New York, and is certain he has a better education than any cop from North Dakota. He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the deputy's expense!


Deputy: "License and registration, please."

Lawyer: "What for?"

Deputy: "You didn't come to a complete stop at the stop sign."

Lawyer: "I slowed down, and no one was coming."

Deputy: "You still didn't come to a complete stop. License and registration, please."

Lawyer: "What's the difference?"

Deputy: "The difference is you have to come to a complete stop, that's the law. License and registration, please!"

Lawyer: "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."

Deputy: "Sounds fair. Please exit your vehicle, sir."

Smug in his belief the deputy cannot prove the difference, the lawyer exits his vehicle. At this point, the deputy takes out his nightstick and starts beating the bleeding crap out of the lawyer and asks...

"Do you want me to stop... or just slow down?"
