Let me show you
A lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a NYC cop. He thinks that he is smarter than the cop because he is a lawyer and is certain that he has a better education then any cop . He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the cop's expense.
The cop says, "License and registration, please."
"What for?" asks the lawyer.
The cop replies, "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," answers the cop. "License and registration, please."
The lawyer asks, "What's the difference?"
"The difference is you have to come to complete stop, that's the law. License and registration, please!" the cop repeats.
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 cop requests.
At this point, the cop takes out his nightstick and starts beating the fire out of the lawyer and asks,
"Do you want me to stop, or just slow down?"
