| Banta was stopped by a policeman for speeding, and does a lot of pleading, trying to get out of the ticket. The policeman says, "Okay, I'll ask you a question. If you answer correctly, I'll make this a warning." "Agreed!" answers Banta. "You're driving at night, and two lights appear in front of you. What is it?" "That's easy, it's a car," said Banta. "Sure, but what kind of car? Is it a Maruti, a Ford or is it a Mercedes?" says the policeman, and continues to write the ticket. "Wait, give me another chance!" begsBanta. "Okay, but this is your last chance. If you get it wrong, you get the ticket. Now, you're driving at night, and one light appears in front of you. What is it?" "That's easy," says Banta. "It's a motorcycle!" The cop says, "Sure, but what kind of bike? Is it a Honda, a Yamaha, or a LML?" "How should I know?" yells Banta. "Sorry, I've got to write the ticket!" responds the officer. "Yeah, well okay. But let me ask you a question, too, then." "Go ahead," said the officer. "You see a bare-breasted woman standing at the curb, bargaining with clients at the side of the road, what is it?" asks Banta. "Oh, that's easy!" replies the officer. "It's a hooker!" "Sure," said the driver, "but is it your mother, your sister, your daughter?" |
