The London Banker And The Cornish Policeman
A London banker travelling through Cornwall runs a red light and gets pulled over by a Cornish police officer. He thinks that he is smarter than the officer because he is a banker and is certain that he has a better education than any Cornish police men. He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the officers expense!!
Officer says,"License and registration, please."
Banker says, "What for?"
Officer replies, "You didn't stop at the traffic lights."
Banker says, "I slowed down, and no one was coming."
Officer says, "You still didn't come to a complete stop. License and registration, please."
Banker says, "What's the difference?"
Officer says, "The difference is, you have to come to a complete stop, that's the law. License and registration, please!"
Banker says, "If you can show me the legal 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."
Officer says, "Sounds fair. Exit your vehicle, sir."
The banker exits his vehicle.
The officer takes out his baton and starts beating the hell out of the banker with it and says, "Do you want me to stop, or just slow down?"
