An NHP Trooper pulled a car over on I-80 about 2 miles East of the
Nevada/California state line, near Verdi, NV.
When the Trooper asked the driver why he was speeding, the driver
answered that he was a magician and a juggler and he was on his way to
Reno to do a show at Circus 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 that he
wouldn't 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 old Nevada cowboy 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 me to jail, cause there's
no way in hell I can pass that test".
