A Tennessee State trooper pulled a car over on I-65 about 18 miles south of Nashville TN. 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 Nashville to do a show for the Vanderbilt's Children's Hospital. 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 that 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 State Troopers car. A drunken good old boy from Dickson TN got out, watched the performance, then went over to the Trooper's car, opened the rear door and got in. The trooper observed him and went over to his car, opened the door asking the drunk what he thought he was doing.
The drunk replied, “You might as well take me to jail, cause there ain't no way I can pass that test.”

I still miss The Far Side.
It took me a minute to recognize Hilliary I Ain't No Waze Tarred Clinton in blackface.
I bet that orangutan is a better driver than some of the people I meet on the road.
Ah, “Cheers!”, back when TV was actually entertaining. A great show.
R-man: Wasn't Larson supposed to be bringing the Far Side back?
Jeff: Yes, that was a good 'un.
I hadn't heard that, but after a quick search, it turns out he has produced a limited number of new cartoons. But, it doesn't sound like he's back to doing a daily cartoon. The new stuff is still good stuff.
