Texas Deputy vs New York Lawyer

[parkerbink]

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, Texas. 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 says.



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 ever-loving shit out of the lawyer and says,

"Do you want me to stop, or just slow down?"

I love it! Here's another I heard awhile back:

A police officer is called to the witness stand in some unimportant case. We join the scene somewhere in the middle of the DA's questioning of the officer:
"Officer Brown, obviously this is a matter of trust, trust amongst you and your fellow officers. You do trust your fellow officers, don't you Officer Brown"
"Yes sir, I'd trust them with my life. I have to, it's my job."
"I'm willing to bet you and your coworkers share locker room, is that correct"
The officer nods in agreement.
"Well then, do have a lock on your locker?"
"Yes sir, I do but I hardly see how that's relevent to the case."
The DA grined. "Well, you say you'd trust your fellow officers with your life yet you have a lock on your locker in the locker room you share with them."
The officer grinned back. "Yes sir I do, but you see it's a public building and we often get a lot of lawyers passing through as well..."
