A smarmy Bellevue lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a cop.
He thinks that he is smarter than the deputy because he is a lawyer from
Clyde Hill and is certain that he has a better education than any cop from
Bothell. He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the
deputy's expense.
Deputy says, "License and registration, please."
Lawyer says: "What for?"
Deputy says: "You didn't come to a complete stop at a stop sign."
Lawyer says, "I slowed down, and no one was coming."
Deputy says, "You still didn't come to a complete stop. License and
registration, please."
Lawyer says, "My good man, 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, you ruffian!"

Deputy says, "Sounds fair. Exit your vehicle, sir." At this point the
deputy takes out his nightstick and starts beating the feces out of the lawyer
and says, "Do you want me to stop or just slow down?"
