Juggling joke

A friend of mine forwarded me this juggling joke. It made me laugh so I’ll pass it along here. Unfortunately, I can’t give credit to the author because I don’t know who wrote it.

A Pennsylvania State Trooper pulled a car over on I-81
about two miles north of the PA/MD state line. When
the trooper asked the driver why he was speeding, the
driver answered that he was a magician and a juggler
on his way to Harrisburg to do a show that night at
the Zembo 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 would not 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 told him that he 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 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 thought 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.
