Stop Sign...

A local police officer was "sitting" at a stop sign, watched a man roll through the intersection without stopping.

The officer pulled the guy over and requested to see the driver's license and registration.

"But officer, why'd you stop me?" the incredulous fellow asked.

"That's a Stop Sign back there buddy," the officer answered. "You didn't come to a full stop."

"But I DID slow down," replied the driver.

"But you didn't STOP -- it's a stop sign," the officer insisted.

"But I DID slow down," the driver stubbornly argued.

"But it's not a 'slow down' sign ... it's a STOP sign," argued back the officer.

After going back and forth with this several times, the officer became agitated, grabbed the driver by the neck and dragged him out through the open window. He then began to smack him back and forth across the face...

After several solid whacks, the officer politely asked, "So tell me, do you want me to Stop, or do you want me to Slow Down?"
