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 Sabinal.
He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the deputy's expense.
Deputy; "License and registration, please."
Lawyer; "What for?"
Deputy; "You didn't come to a complete stop at the stop sign."
Lawyer "I slowed down, and no one was coming."
Deputy; "You still didn't come to a complete stop. License and registration, please."
Lawyer; "What's the difference?"
Deputy; "The difference is, you have to come to complete stop, that's the law. License and registration, please!"
Lawyer; "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."
Deputy; "Sounds fair. Exit your vehicle, sir." At this point, the deputy takes out his nightstick and starts beating the ever-loving crap out of the lawyer and says,
"Do you want me to stop....or just slow down?"
