A Texas State trooper pulled a car over on Interstate 35 a few miles south of
Waco. 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 Austin to do a
show for the Shrine Circus. He was behind schedule and 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 out five flares, lit them
and handed them to him. The man juggled them skillfully and impressively.
While the man was juggling, a pickup truck pulled in behind the State Trooper's
car. A drunken good old boy from central Texas got out, watched the
performance, then went over to the Trooper's car, opened the rear door and got
in. The trooper observed him and went over to the State car, opened the door
asking the drunk guy what he thought he was doing.
The drunk replied, “You might as well take my ass to jail, cause there
ain't no way I can pass that test.”
