A Joke for Today. “A Drunk Sees Flaming Lights.”
A Virginia State trooper pulled over a car on I-64 about 2 miles south of the Virginia/West Virginia State line-border.
When the trooper asked the driver why he was speeding, the driver said he was a Magician and Juggler, and that he was on his way to Beckley, WV. to do a show at the Shrine Circus. He didn’t want to be late, which he seemed to be anyway.
The trooper told the driver he was fascinated by juggling and he also said if the driver would do a few juggling tricks for him, then he wouldn’t give him a ticket.
The Juggler told the trooper he had sent his juggling equipment ahead and he didn’t have anything to juggle.
So, the trooper said he had some flares in the trunk, and he asked the juggler if he could juggle them, as they were lit up on fire.
The juggler replied that he could juggle anything at all within reason. So, the trooper got 5 flares out of his patrol car trunk, and then he lit them up to start a bright flaming glare. He then handed them to the juggler.
While the juggler was juggling the bright lit up flares, a car pulled behind the patrol car and stopped. A drunken good old boy from West Virginia got out of his car. He watched the performance very briefly, and then he slowly walked over to the patrol car, he opened the rear door and enter the patrol car.
The trooper observed him, and he walked over to his patrol car, he opened the door, and he asked the drunk what he thought he was doing.
The drunk yelled out the door, “You might as well take my ass to jail, because there is no way in hell, or on earth I can pass that test!”
