A Texas Ranger pulled over a red Porsche after it had run a stop sign. He
walked up to the car door and said, "Sir, May I see your driver's
license and
registration please?"
The driver said, "What's the problem, officer?"
"You just ran the stop sign back there at the last intersection."
"Oh, come on pal, there wasn't a car within miles of me!"
"Nevertheless sir, you are required to come to a complete stop, look
both
ways, and proceed with caution."
"You gotta be kidding me!
"It's no joke, sir".
"Look, I slowed down almost to a complete stop, saw no one within
twenty
miles, and proceeded with caution."
"That's beside the point, sir. You are supposed to come to a complete
stop,
and you didn't. Now if I may see your license and..."
"You've got a lot of time on your hands, PAL! What's the matter, all
the
doughnut shops closed?"
"Sir, I'll overlook that last comment. Let me see your license and
registration immediately!"
"I will, if you can tell me the difference between slowing down, and
coming
to a complete stop."
The elderly Ranger had enough and said to the driver, "Sir, I can do
better
than that." He opened the car door, dragged the obnoxious motorist
out, and
proceeded to methodically beat him over the head with his nightstick.
"Now sir, would you like me to slow down or come to a complete stop?"
This is why we Texans love our Texas Rangers. Teaching by example is
not a
lost art in Texas.
