Speeding --Test ?

[Bitter End]

A State Trooper pulled over a Lotus on the Interstate for going too fast.

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 the next town over 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 asked if the driver would do a little juggling for him, then he wouldn't give him a ticket.

The driver told the trooper he had sent his equipment ahead and didn't have anything to juggle with (it was an Elise after all). 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 doing his thing with great skill and a flair for showmanship, a car pulled in behind the patrol car. A drunken good old boy from the south got out, watched the performance briefly, 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!"
