A
North Carolina State Trooper pulled a car over on US 301 about 2 miles south of
the Virginia State line. When the trooper asked the driver why he was speeding,
the driver said he was a juggler and was on his way to do a show at the Shrine
Circus in Emporia. 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. A
drunken good old boy traveling from Tennessee 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 ass to jail, cause there ain't no way in hell I can pass that test.”
