A policeman pulled over a car, walked up to the
driver's window, and asked the man if he knew why
he was pulled over. "No," the man replied. "You
failed to stop at the stop sign," the cop
explained. "But I did slow down!" the guy
argued. The cop shook his head. "You are required
to stop. That's why they're called stop signs."
The man started to get belligerent. "Stop, slow
down -- what's the difference?" The cop pulled
out his baton. "I can show you. I'm going to
start hitting you with my baton. You tell me if
you want me to stop or slow down."
