A lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a copper.

He thinks that he is smarter than the cop because he is a lawyer from and is certain that he has a better education then any stupid cop. He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the cops expense.

The cop says "Licence please". The lawyer says "What for?" Cop says "Ya didn't come to a complete stop at the stop sign mate". Lawyer says "I slowed down and no one was coming".

Cop says "Ya still didn't come to a complete stop eh. Let's see your licence please?"

Lawyer says "What's the difference?" Cop says "The difference is, ya hafta come to complete stop, that's the law... now LICENCE PLEASE!"

Lawyer says "If you can show me the legal difference between slow down and stop, I'll give you my licence and you give me the ticket. If not, you let me go and don't give me the ticket".

Cop says "Sounds fair to me. Exit your vehicle, sir"

The lawyer exits his vehicle. The cop takes out his baton and starts beating the **** out of the lawyer.

After a few minutes he says "Now do ya want me to stop... or just slow down??"
