It's raining cats and dogs here, and I
love it. (It hasn't for some time- it's very welcome!)
I've avoided FB for the last year, but, went there tonight and want to share this story from the supporters of the Virginia State Police- from K. Overby.
(a little long, but good little story, and I know some Patrick county folk
)
Only in Patrick County??? A Virginia State trooper pulled a car over on 58 about 2 miles east of Stuart . 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 Stuart to do a show at Patrick County High School. He didn't want to be late.
The trooper told the driver he was fascinated by juggling and said 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, a car pulled in behind the State Troopers car. A drunken good old boy from Patrick Springs got out, watched the performance, then went over to the Trooper's car, opened the rear door and got in. The trooper observed him and went over to the State car, opened the door asking the drunk what he thought he was doing.
The drunk replied, “You might as well take me to jail, cause there ain't no way I can pass that test.”
