A Pennsylvania State Trooper pulled a car over on I-81 about 2
miles north of the Pa/Md state line. When the Trooper asked the
driver why he was speeding, the driver answered that he was a
magician and a juggler, and he was on his way to Harrisburg to
do a show that night at the Zembo Shrine Circus and didn't want
to be late.
The Trooper told the driver he was fascinated by juggling, and
if the driver would do a little juggling for him, that he
wouldn't give him a ticket. The driver told the Trooper that he
had sent all of his equipment on ahead and didn't have anything
to juggle. The Trooper told him that he had some flares in the
trunk of his patrol car and asked if he could juggle them. The
juggler stated that he could, so the Trooper got three flares,
lit them and handed them to the juggler.
While the man was doing his juggling act, a car pulled in behind
the patrol car, a drunk got out and watched the performance
briefly, he then went over to the patrol car, opened the rear
door and got in.
The Trooper observed him doing this and went over to the patrol
car, opened the door and asked the drunk what he thought he was
doing.
The drunk replied, "You might as well take my ass to jail, cause
there's no way in hell I can pass that test."
