Take Me Now...
An Essex County Police Car pulled a car over on the A127 - 2 miles
from Southends Sea Front./ When the copper asked the driver why he was speeding, the driver said he was a
Magician and Juggler and was on his way to the Cliffs Pavilion to do a show
at 8.o/c pm & that he didn't want to be late.
The copper told the driver he was fascinated by juggling and said
if the driver would do a little juggling for him then he wouldn't
give him a ticket. He told the copper he had sent his equipment
ahead and didn't have anything to juggle.
The copper said he had some flares in the boot and asked if he
could juggle them. The juggler said he probably could, so the copper got 5
flares, lit them and handed them to him.
While the man was juggling, a car pulled in behind the police car. A
drunken old boy from Basildon got out, watched the
performance, then went over to the police car, opened the rear door
and got in.
The copper observed him and went over to the police car, opened the door asking the drunk what the hell he thought he was doing.
The drunk replied, "You might as well take my @rse to jail,
cause there ain't no bloody way I can pass that test."
