A Georgia State Trooper pulled a car over on I-85 about 2 miles east of the Georgia/ Alabama 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 Columbus to do a show that night at the 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, 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 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 from Alabama 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 was doing. The drunk replied,
“You might as well take my ass to jail, cause there’s no way in hell I can pass that test..”
