A lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a Philly cop.  He thinks that he is smarter than the cop because he is a lawyer from New York and is certain that he has a better education then any cop from Philadelphia, Pa.  He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the Philly cop's expense. The cop says," License and registration, please."

"What for?" says the lawyer. The cop says, "You didn't come to a complete stop at the stop sign."

Then the lawyer says, "I slowed down, and no one was coming."

"You still didn't come to a complete stop, Says the cop. License and
registration, please."

The lawyer says, "What's the difference?"

"The difference is you have to come to complete stop, that's the law. License and registration, please!" the cop says.

Lawyer says, "If you can show me the legal difference between slow down and stop, I'll give you my license and registration; and you give me the ticket. If not, you let me go and don't give me the ticket."

"That sounds fair.  Please exit your vehicle, sir," the cop says.

At this point, the cop takes out his Billy club and starts beating the ever-loving  "day light"  out of the lawyer and says,

"Do you want me to stop, or just slow down?"
