Pulled Over By The Police
A young man was pulled over by the Louisiana state police
for speeding. The officer stepped out of his patrol car, pulled up his gun
holster, adjusted his mirror sunglasses, and swaggered up to the young man's
window.
"What chew driving so fast for, boy? You going
to a fire? Let me see ya license, boy." The young man handed
over his license. Then the officer noticed that the back seat of the young
man's car was full of big knives. The officer said, "Tell me, boy,
why you got them knives on that there back seat?" The young man
replied, "Well, Sir, I'm a juggler."
The officer spit some tobacco juice out the side of his
mouth and then he said, " A juggler; well you don't say. Boy,
put cha hands on the trunk of your car; you goin' to jail."
The young man pleaded to the officer not to take him to
jail. The young man offered to prove to the officer that he was a juggler
by way of a demonstration. The young man said, "You can even hold
me at gun point while I juggle for you." The officer reluctantly
allowed the young man to prove his point while he held him at gun point.
Two miles down the road at Joe's Tavern, Jim Billy James
drinking it up with his favorite drinking buddy, Homer T. Ratcliff.
Jim Billy headed out the door to go home to his wife. He stumbled to his
rusty old 1976 Ford truck and crawled in.
Jim Billy was driving down highway 442, and trying his
best to stay on his side of the road. Then all of a sudden Jim Billy
saw the most unbelievable sight of his life. Jim Billy tried his best
to keep that pickup on the road. Later down the road, Jim Billy stopped
at the first pay phone he saw. He dialed the number to Joe's Tavern and
asked for Homer T. Ratcliff. When Homer picked up the phone, Jim Billy said,
"Homer, whatever you do when you leave that there tavern, don't go
north on highway 442. The state police is giving a sobriety test that
can't nobody pass."
