A police officer pulled over a red Porsche after it had run
a stop sign. He walked up to the car door and said, "Sir,
May I see your driver's license and registration please?"
The driver said, "What's the problem, officer?"
"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!"
"Nevertheless sir, you are required to come to a complete
stop, look both ways, and proceed with caution."
"You gotta be kidding me!" "It's no joke, sir".
"Look, I slowed down almost to a complete stop, saw no
one within twenty miles, and proceeded with caution."
"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! 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 and said to the
driver, "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?"
