A New Jersey State Trooper pulled a car over on I-295 about 2 miles

West of the NJ/NY state line. When the Trooper asked the driver why

He was speeding, the driver answered that he was a magician and a

Juggler and he was on his way to New York City to do a show that night

At the Zembo Shrine Circus and didn't want to be late. The Trooper

Told the driver he was fascinated by juggling, and if the driver

Would do a little juggling for him that he wouldn't give him a ticket.


The driver told the Trooper that he had sent all of his equipment on

Ahead and didn't have anything to juggle. The Trooper told him that

He had some flares in the trunk of his patrol car and asked if he

Could juggle them. The juggler stated that he could, so the Trooper

Got three flares, lit them and handed them to the juggler.


While the man was doing his juggling act, a car pulled in behind the

Patrol car, a drunk got out and watched the performance briefly, he

Then went over to the patrol car, opened the rear door and got in.


The Trooper observed him doing this and went over to the patrol car,

Opened the door and asked the drunk what he thought he was doing.

The drunk replied, "You might as well take my butt to jail, cause

there's no way in hell I can pass that test."
