From Phil.
A lawyer runs a stop sign in Dublin and gets pulled over by an Irish cop. He thinks that he is smarter than the cop because he is a from London and is certain that he has a better education than any Irish cop. He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the Irish cop’s expense.
Irish cop says, “License and registration, please.”
The lawyer asks, “What for?”
Irish cop says, “Ye didnae come to a complete stop at the stop sign.”
The lawyer says, “I slowed down, and no one was coming.”
Irish cop says, “Ye still didnae come to a complete stop. License and registration, please”
The London lawyer says, “What’s the difference?”
Irish cop says, “The difference is, ye havte come to complete stop, that’s the law. License and registration, please!”
The 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.”
Irish cop says, “Sounds fair. Exit your vehicle, sir.”
The lawyer exits his vehicle. The Irish cop takes out his baton and starts beating the living shit out of the lawyer and says, “Daeye want me to stop, or just slow down?”
A college buddy told me that once in a small town in Zaire, he was stopped by a traffic circle cop for having burned out headlights. His asking to have them repaired later failed, and he was on the brink of being arrested. But, this happened during a power outage, and in desperation, my friend pointed at the streetlight and said “No electricity, right?”. Then he pointed at his headlights and said “No electricity!”. The cop said “Oh, that’s right.”, and let him go.
I think most of us want the cop to slow down but not stop whoopin’ on the lawyer.
Now that’s a REAL personal injury lawyer.
A lawyer getting the shit beat out of him is almost as entertaining as a journalist getting the shit best out of them. Nut if you beat all the shit out of a journalist there would be nothing left.
