A Virginia State trooper pulled a car over on I-64 about 2 miles
south of the Virginia/West Virginia State line. 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 Beckley, WV to do a show at the Shrine
Circus. He 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 5
flares, lit them and handed them to him.
While the man was juggling, a car pulled in behind the patrol
car. Lee, a drunken good old boy from West Virginia got out, watched
the performance, then went over to the patrol car, opened the rear door
and got in.
The trooper observed him and went over to the patrol car, opened
the door asking the drunk what he thought he was doing.
The drunk replied, 'You might as well take my butt to jail, cause
there ain't no way I can pass that test.'
