The State Trooper on Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve A Georgia State Trooper pulled a car over on I-95 about
2
miles south of the Georgia/South Carolina 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 Savannah
to do
a Christmas show that night at the 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 then 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 good old boy, from S.C., with a little too much Christmas
spirits
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 me to jail, cause there's no
way
in hell I can pass that test.'
