A New York lawyer is on a business trip in Texas...

... and is on his way to a meeting in his company rental car. He's a little crunched on time so when he rolls through the stop sign ahead. A cop catches this and pulls him over. He walks up to the window and says "License n' registration , sir." The lawyer complies but can hear the country twang in the cops voice and figures he can outsmart the 'stupid southerner.' "Officer, I have no idea why you pulled me over." The officer replies "You didn't stop at that there stop sign. Went right through it." The lawyer sits up straight and says "Actually at a 4 way stop, as long as there are no other cars, slowing down is legally acceptable. I wouldn't expect someone with your understanding of the law and quality of education to understand though. However, I attended Harvard law school so I have a much better understanding of the law than you do. In this case, slowing down is the same as stopping." The office sighs, pulls his gun, and aims it at the lawyer's face and says "My finger is headed for the trigger. Do you want it to stop or slow down?"
