Stop
A police officer (who shall remain nameless)
pulled over a red Porsche after it had run a
stop sign, "May I see your driver's license
and registration please?"
"What's the problem, officer?"
snapped the motorist.
"Your just ran the stop sign back
there at the last intersection."
"Oh, come on pal, there wasn't a car
within miles of me," countered the driver.
"Nevertheless sir, you are required
to come to a complete stop, look both ways,
and proceed with caution."
"You gotta be kidding me!" barked the
offender.
"It's no joke, sir."
"Look, I slowed down almost to a
complete stop, saw no one within twenty
miles, and proceeded with caution," argued
the driver.
"That's beside the point, sir. You
are supposed to come to a complete stop, and
you didn't. Now if I may see your license
and..."
"You've got a lot of time on your
hands, PAL!" interrupted the belligerent
motorist. "What's the matter, all the
doughnut shops closed?"
"Sir, I'll overlook that last
comment. Let me see your license and
registration immediately!"
"I will, if you can tell me the
difference between slowing down, and coming
to a complete stop."
The police officer had enough, "Sir,
I can do better than that." He opened the car
door, dragged the obnoxious motorist out, and
proceeded to methodically beat him over the
head with his nightstick. "Now sir, would you
like me to slow down or come to a complete
stop?"
