| A motorcycle cop on patrol watched as Banta in a car slowed down at a stop sign, without coming to a complete stop, then sped off. The motorcycle cop pulled the vehicle over and approached Banta. "Sir, can I please see your license and rgistration." Banta replies, "Not until you tell me what the heck I did wrong, Officer." The officer explain, "You didn`t come to a complete stop at the stop sign a few blocks back." "Let me guess," said Banta, "all the wine shops are closed today!" "Sir, I`m going to overlook that last comment. Now, if you would please show me your license and registration." Banta counters, "Not until you tell me the difference between slowing down and coming to a complete stop." "Sir, step out of the car." As Banta reluctantly gets out of his car, the officer begins beating him over the head with his nightstick and exclaims, "Now, sir, would you like me to slow down or come to a complete stop!" |
