The Smart Lawyer & Dumb Copper

[Guest john]

A smart lawyer runs a stop sign & gets pulled over by a traffic cop. He thinks that he is much smarter than the copper because he is a lawyer, & is certain that his education makes him superior to the copper. He decides to prove this to himself & have some fun at the cops expense.

 

The Copper says:"Licence & registration please ". The lawyer replied: "What for?" The copper says: "You didn't come to a complete stop at the stop sign". The lawyer says, "I slowed down, & there was no other traffic approaching". The copper says: You still didn't come to a complete stop, licence & registration please sir".

 

The lawyer says: again: "Whats the bloody difference". The copper says: "The difference is the sign says stop, not slow down, so you have to come to a complete stop, thats the law. Licence & registration please".

 

The lawyer says: "If you can show me the legal difference between slow down & stop, I'll give you my licence & registration & you can give me a ticket, if not, you can let me go & don't give me a ticket".

 

The copper says : "Thats fair enough, please exist your vehicle". The cop takes out his batton & starts belting the crap out of the lawyer & says: "Now you asshole, do you want me to stop completely, or just bloody well slow down".
