A lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by the sheriff. He thinks he’s smarter being a big shot lawyer from New York and has a better education than a sheriff from West Virginia. The sheriff asks for license and registration. The lawyer asks, “What for?” The sheriff responds, “You didn’t come to a complete stop at the stop sign.”
The lawyer says, “‘I slowed down and no traffic was coming.” “You still didn’t come to a complete stop. License and registration please,” says the sheriff impatiently.
The lawyer says, “If you can show me the legal difference between slow down and stop, I’ll give you my license and registration and you can give me a ticket, If not, you let me go and don’t give me a ticket.”
The sheriff says, “That sounds fair, please exit your vehicle.” The lawyer steps out and the sheriff takes out his nightstick and starts beating the S out of the lawyer. The sheriff says to the lawyer, “Now do you want me to stop or just slow down?”
What a small world! I think I met that sheriff’s cousin, just outside Ft. Campbell, Ky.
I had recently finished jump school, and brought my car from home. I went through a stop sign off base, making, what is widely called, a California stop.
I was too young and too aware of the sheriff’s nightstick to debate the issue, so he was nice enough to let me pay him the fine, rather than stay in jail overnight, wind up AWOL, and wait for the judge to fine me. The fine turned out to be $7.38, which, by unbelievable coincidence, was exactly what I had on me.
I think this is a Pie posting, and so typical of him.
If you have no legitimate argument … say poop.
If you are a cop … and have no legitimate argument … beat the %&$# out of people. And this is why the cops lose a little more of their authority … every day.
Re: “cop …no legitimate argument”
Police officers are not on the streets to argue but to enforce laws.
Citizens can argue in court if they really believe they have a case.
The lawyer would know that…doh!
Certain arrogant militant citizens chose to disrespect cops, the rule of law, the Constitution, the rights of fellow citizens, and common decency in the late sixties, found the tactic politically useful, and have been abusive ever since. The degree to which cops have lost authority is the degree to which arrogance, and the sense of special entitlement that goes with it, runs deep in that segment of our society.
The lawyer knew he had no case.
End of serious commentary on what is obviously an inside joke. Cops tell these stories to relieve the tensions and stresses of their work. Libby would have an arrogant response, she is, after all, one of those certain people who believe the law is something to be wrangled and molested for political purposes.
I wasn’t going to say anything about this post, but now that the argument has started, I will say I find jokes about police brutality in which the victim is the butt of the joke to be in poor taste in 2019.
Per Chris: “I will say I find jokes about police brutality in which the victim is the butt of the joke to be in poor taste in 2019.”
You’re right Chris. I forgot the 28th Amendment, which states “Speech which, intentional or otherwise, causes hurt feelings, anxiety or discomfort in a member of any protected class or any self-described victim is expressly prohibited. Prohibition shall extend to all speech deemed by the Department of Censorship to be in poor taste.”
Someone should report Pie before any more self-esteem is endangered
Cherokee Jack, criticizing speech is not the same thing as saying that speech should be banned. Conflating criticism of speech with actual censorship is actually an incredibly snowflakey and hysterical thing to do.
Geez, Libby. How did you get wrapped so tight? That seems to be a fairly common trait with liberals. No time to waste on horseplay.
Idi Amin walks into a restaurant and asks the waiter, “Do you serve liberals here?”
Don’t try to get this one either, Libby. It’s another inside joke.
Pie here. She won’t get it Cherokee.
Not funny. Not even a little bit.
And neither is this:

You”re right, Libby. Not Funny.
Thanks to all who just participated in our mental health evaluation. If you found this joke to be kinda funny, you passed, congratulations Go no further.
However, if it caused you to be agitated, angry or stressed, while imagining the horrors of police brutality, you may need cognitive behavioral therapy!
We provide this therapy free of charge in the form of helpful stories published on PS. We’ll do our best to cure you of your debilitating liberal psychosis and perhaps some day, with our help, you can re-enter society as a healthy and productive conservative?
PS write “PS. We’ll do our best to cure you of your debilitating liberal psychosis and perhaps some day, with our help, you can re-enter society as a healthy and productive conservative?”
Now that is funny!
Heh. More therapy from the real world.

MUCH more where that came from.
Its nothing personal.
I laughed out loud. Perfect.
A Catholic Priest, a Poro Shaman, and Bill Clinton walk into a bar…
Oh no, wait! An SPLC activist, an NCCAP lawyer and Kim Jong-un walk into a bar …
No wait! A hippo, a lion and a giraffe walk into a bar and the bartender (not AOC) says…
Re CJ: “Someone should report Pie before any more self-esteem is endangered”
Ditto, my friend.
I think Libby might turn us both in, Pie. She has all the markings of a deepstate wanna be. She might smile and say sweet nothings to your face, but don’t let her get near your chardonnay glass when you’re not looking.
ps to a few: Wherein some get their panties in a bunch.
I have only 2 words for those whose only mission in life is to be offended: Pound Sand!
J. Soden, well said my friend.
Re J. Soden and I presume Jack (maybe Cherokee Jack.)
Pounding sand is what Lippy and LudiChris are all about.
