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. A drunken good old boy from West Virginia got
out, watched the performance briefly, 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 and 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 I can pass that test.'
