Or, at least an attempt…

A lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a sheriff’s deputy. The lawyer thinks that he is smarter than the deputy because he is from New York and certain that he has a better education than any cop from Houston. He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the deputy’s expense.

Deputy “License and registration, please.”
Lawyer “What for?”
Deputy “You didn’t come to a complete stop at the stop sign.”
Lawyer “I slowed down, and no one was coming.”
Deputy “You still didn’t come to a complete stop. License and registration, please.”
Lawyer “What’s the difference?”
Deputy “The difference is, you have to come to complete stop, that’s the law. License and registration, please!”
Lawyer “If you can show me the difference between slow down and stop, I’ll give you my license and registration; and you give me the ticket. If not, you let me go and don’t give me the ticket.”
Deputy “Sounds fair. Exit your vehicle, sir.”
The deputy takes out his nightstick and starts beating the ever-loving crap out of the lawyer and asks, “Stop or just slow down?”

Not sure who the joke makes more fun of, annoying lawyers or brutal police.
