A young man was pulled over by the Mississippi State Police for speeding. The
officer stepped out of his patrol car, adjusted his sunglasses, and swaggered up
to the young man’s window. “What chew driving so fast for boy? You going to a
fahhr? Let me see your license, boy.” The young man handed over his license.
Then the officer noticed that the back seat of the car was full of large knives. The
officer said, “Tell me boy, why you got them knives on that there back seat?” The
young man replied, “Well sir, I’m a juggler.” The officer spat some tobacco juice
and then he said, “A juggler; well you don’t say. Boy, put cha hands on the trunk of
yer car; you going to jail!”
The young man pleaded with the officer not to take him to jail. He offered to prove
to the officer that he was a juggler by way of demonstration. He said, “You can
even hold me at gunpoint while I juggle for you.” The officer reluctantly allowed
him to prove his point while he held him at gunpoint.
Two miles down the road at Joe’s Tavern, Billy Bub was drinking it up with Jerry
Lee Jones. Billy Bub soon left and got into his old, rusty pickup truck. He
proceeded down the road trying his best to stay on the right side. All of a sudden
Billy Bub spotted the most unbelievable sight of his life! He drove to the nearest
phone booth and dialed the number for Joe’s Tavern and asked for his buddy,
Jerry Lee.
When Jerry Lee got on the phone, Billy Bub said, “Whatever you do when you
leave that tavern, don’t go north on route 109. The state police are giving a
sobriety test that nobody can pass!”
