Stop or slow down......

A lawyer got pulled over, the policeman said; license and registration sir. The lawyer just knowing he was smarter than the policeman, was going to have some fun He said; Officer why did you pull me over? The policeman said; For running the stop sign, license and registration sir. Lawyer: Well, I slowed down, there was nothing coming. The officer said; Slow down is not stop, you ran a stop sign, it is the law, license and registration sir ! Lawyer: If you can show me the difference between slow and stop and the benefits I'll be glad to show you my license and registration officer. Officer: Step out of the car sir. The lawyer smugly eased out of his car and the officer whipped out his night stick and started smacking the lawyer all over his head and body in short rapid swats, He said; NOW, do you want me to stop or just SLOW DOWN ?
