An Alabama State trooper pulled a car over on the road
about 2 miles North of Sylacauga, AL. 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 Birmingham to do a show at
the Shrine Circus. He didn't want to be late.
The trooper told the driver he was fascinated by juggling and asked if the
driver would do a little juggling for him then 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, ol' Bean pulled in behind the patrol car.
Bean, who just got off work at Miller Lumber (and had stopped along the way to have a few beers) got out, watched the performance,
then went over to the patrol car, opened the rear door and got in.
The trooper observed Bean getting into his patrol car and went over, and opened the door asking ol' Bean what he thought he was doing.
Bean replied, 'You might as well take my butt to jail, cause there ain't no way I can pass that test.'
