An old man was traveling down a highway on the back of his donkey.
Two police officers spotted him and decided to have a little fun.
They approached the old man and asked,
“Hey, why aren’t you wearing a seat belt?”
“Well, I ain’t gonna do that!” replied the old man.
“Then we’ll have to fine you.”
“Alright, just make it quick. I’m in a hurry.”
One of the officers asked,
“Do you want us to fine you or the donkey?”
“What’s the difference?” asked the old man.
“If we fine you, it’s $500. If we fine the donkey, it’s $300.”
“Fine me, then,” said the old man.
The officers laughed and asked,
“Why would you choose that?”
The old man replied,
“Let the donkey’s record stay clean. I’m planning to make him an officer.”
