joke of the day

[Bruce Bell]

Only in Texas my friends...Only in Texas ..

A lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a sheriff's
deputy. He thinks that he is smarter than the deputy because
he is a lawyer from New York and is certain that he has a
better education then any cop from Houston , TX . He decides
to prove this to himself and have some fun at the Texas
deputy's expense.

The deputy says, 'License and registration, please.'

'What for?' says the lawyer...

The deputy says, 'You didn't come to a complete stop at the
stop sign.'

Then the lawyer says, 'I slowed down, and no one was
coming.'

'You still didn't come to a complete stop, Says the deputy.
License and registration, please.'

The lawyer says, 'What's the difference?'

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

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 don't give me the ticket.'

'That sounds fair. Please exit your vehicle, sir,' the deputy
says.

At this point, the deputy takes out his nightstick and starts
beating the crap out of the lawyer and says, 'Do you want me
to stop, or just slow down?'

God Bless Texas ..
