A motorcycle cop had just pulled over a red Porsche after it
had run a stop sign. "May I see your driver's license and
registration please."
"What's the problem, officer?"
"You just ran that stop sign back there."
"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 come to a
complete stop, and you didn't. Now if I may see your license."
"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 policeman had enough. "Sir, I can do better than that." He
opened the car door, dragged the rude motorist out, and
proceeded to methodically beat him over the head with his
nightstick.
"Now sir, would you like for me to slow down or come to a
complete stop?"
