Stop Or Slow Down

Stop Or Slow Down

A lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a sheriff.
He thinks he's smarter being a big-shot lawyer from New
York and assumes he has a better education than a sheriff
from West Virginia. The sheriff asks for his license and
registration.
The lawyer asks, "What for?"
The sheriff responds, "You didn't come to a complete
stop."
"I slowed down and no one was coming."
"You still didn't come to a complete stop. License and
registration please."
The lawyer sighed for a moment, then asked,
"How about this officer? Can we make a deal?"
The sheriff lifted his mirrored sunglasses. "My job doesn't
include making deals, however, let's hear it. Amuse me."
"Okay", the lawyer said.
"If you can show me the difference between slow
down and stop, I'll happily give you my license and
registration and you can write the ticket. If not, you let me
go."
The sheriff says, "You're really starting to waste my time
now but you know what, you have a deal."
"I need you to exit the vehicle."
The lawyer was confused. Slowly and arrogantly, he
stepped out.
The sheriff took out his nightstick and began beating the
lawyer with it until he fell to the ground. He continued
beating him and finally said,
"Do you want me to stop or just slow down?"
