A County Deputy Sheriff pulled a car over on I-57 about 2
miles north of the Missouri state line.

The Deputy asked the driver why he was speeding, and was
told he was a magician and a juggler and he was on his way to
Branson to do a show that night and didn't want to be late.
The deputy 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 deputy that he
had sent all of his equipment on ahead and didn't have
anything to juggle.

The deputy told him that he had some flares in the trunk
of his squad car and asked if he could juggle them.
The juggler said he could, so the deputy got three flares,
lit them and handed them to the juggler.

While the man was doing his juggling act, and quite well
-- amazing the deputy - another car pulled in behind the
squad car, a drunk got out and watched the performance
briefly, he then went over to the squad car, opened the rear
door and got in.

The deputy opened the door and asked the drunk what he
thought he was doing.

The drunk replied, "Might as well take me on to jail,
there's no way I can pass THAT test.
