A lawyer from a top London law firm was driving through a small Irish town when he ran a stop sign.
Immediately he was pulled over by an Irish policeman. Without realising what he had done, he decided he was going to get one over on this Irish cop. He WAS, after all, a top London lawyer.
The lawyer pulled over his car and the cop appeared at the window.
"Can I see your licence and registration please, sir?" asks the cop.
"Would you be a good fellow and tell me what I did, officer?" Says the lawyer.
"You ran a stop sign, sir,"replies the cop.
The lawyer smiles, "I did slow down before I proceeded through the stop sign. There was nothing coming so I proceeded through the intersection," says the lawyer.
"Yes, sir," replies the cop. "You are supposed to stop at the sign. I will have to give you a ticket."
"I'll tell you what," says the lawyer, 'If you can demonstrate to me the difference between stopping and slowing down, you give me the ticket. If not, you let me go."
"Okay, sir, please step out of the car."
The lawyer smiles and does as requested. At which point the cop pulls out his truncheon and starts beating the shit out of the lawyer (American cop style).
"Now, sir," says the cop between hits, "Would you like me to slow down or stop?"
