Smart Lawyer

Joe Knochel forwarded this to me today. I got a kick out of it. Many of you have probably already heard it.

A Lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a
police officer. He thinks that he is smarter than the
cop because he is sure that he has a better education. He decides to
prove this to himself and have some fun at the officers' expense...........

A... Officer says, "License and registration,
please."

B... Lawyer says, "What for?"

C... Officer says, "You didn't come to a complete
stop at the stop sign."

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

E... Officer says, "You still didn't come to a
complete stop. License and registration, please."

F... Lawyer says, "What's the difference?"

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

H... 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 no ticket."

I... Officer says, "Exit your vehicle, sir."

J... At this point, the Officer 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?"
