A lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a Texas deputy sheriff . He thinks he is smarter than the Deputy, because he is sure that he has a better education. 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 no ticket."
Deputy: "Exit your vehicle, sir."
At this point, the deputy takes out his nightstick, starts beating the ever-loving crap out of the lawyer, and asks him, "Do you want me to stop or just slow down?"
