State Trooper

[delta22]

Texas State trooper pulled a car over on I-10 about 2 miles west of

the Louisiana / TX state line. When the trooper asked the driver why he

was speeding, the driver said he was a Magician and Juggler and was on

his way to Lake Charles to do a show at the Shrine Circus. He didn't

want to be late.

The trooper told the driver he was fascinated by juggling and said if

the Driver would do a little juggling for him then he wouldn't give him

a ticket. He told the trooper he had sent his equipment ahead and didn't

have anything to juggle.

The trooper said he had some flares in the trunk and asked if he could

juggle them. The juggler said he could, so the trooper got 5 flares, lit

them and handed them to him.

While the man was juggling, a car pulled in behind the patrol car. A

drunken good old boy from Jasper, TX got out, watched the performance,

then went over to the patrol car, opened the rear door and got in. The

trooper observed him and went over to the patrol car, opened the door

asking the Drunk what he thought he was doing.

The drunk replied, 'You might as well take my ass to jail, cause there

ain't NO way I can pass that test.'
