Lawyer:
<runs a stop sign, gets pulled over by a sheriff's deputy, trying to be smart>
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. <The deputy takes out his night stick and starts beating the ever-loving shit out of the lawyer>
Deputy:
Do you want me to stop, or just slow down?
