[nilesfunnies] Fwd: London Lawyer

A London lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a Hartlepool copper.

He thinks that he is smarter than the copper because he is a lawyer
from London and is certain that he has a better education then any
codheaded cop. He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun
at the Hartlepool coppers expense!!

Hartlepool cop says," License and insurance, please."

London Lawyer says, "What for?"

Hartlepool cop says, "You didn't come to a complete stop at the stop sign."

London Lawyer says, "I slowed down, and no one was coming."

Hartlepool cop says, "You still didn't come to a complete stop.
License and insurance, please."

London Lawyer says, "What's the difference?"

Hartlepool cop says, "The difference is, you have to come to complete
stop, that's the law. License and insurance, please!"

London Lawyer says, "If you can show me the legal difference between
slow down and stop, I'll give you my license and insurance, and you
give me the ticket... If not, you let me go and don't give me the
ticket."

Hartlepool cop says, "Sounds fair. Exit your vehicle, sir."

The London Lawyer exits his vehicle. The Hartlepool cop takes out his
truncheon and starts beating the f*ck out of the lawyer and says,
"Now... do you want me to stop... or just slow down?"
