A Virginia State trooper pulled a car over on I-64 about 2
miles south of the Virginia / West Virginia State
line. When the trooper asked the driver why he
was speeding, the driver said he was a Magician and Juggler and was on
his way to Beckley WV to do a show at the Shrine Circus. He
didn't want to be late.
The trooper 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 trooper he had sent his equipment ahead and didn't
have anything to juggle.
The trooper said he had some flares in the trunk and asked if he
could juggle them. The juggler said he could, so the trooper
got 5 flares, lit them and handed them to him.
While the man was juggling, a car pulled in behind the patrol car. A
drunken good old boy from West Virginia got out, watched the
performance, then went over to the patrol car, opened the rear
door and got in. The trooper observed him and went over to the
patrol car, opened the door asking the drunk what he thought he
was doing.
The drunk replied, 'You might as well take my
arse to jail, cause there ain't no way I can pass that
test.'
