An Alexander County Deputy pulled a car over on I-57 about 2 miles north
of the Missouri state line. When the Deputy 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 Branson to do a show that night and didn't want to be late. The deputy 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 deputy that he had sent all of his equipment on ahead and didn't have anything to juggle. The deputy told him that he
had
some flares in the trunk of his squad car and asked if he could juggle
them.
The juggler stated that he could, so the deputy 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
squad
car, a drunk got out and watched the performance briefly, he then went
over
to the squad car, opened the rear door and got in.
The deputy observed him doing this and went over to his squad car, opened
the door and asked the drunk what he thought he was doing.
The drunk replied, "Might as well take me on to jail, there's no way in
I can pass that test."
