One day a policeman stopped (1) a motorist who had just gone through (2) a stop sign
and was about to give him a ticket when the motorist said. "Officer you can't give me

slowed right down and its almost the same." "But you did not stop" (3) replied the officer,
"and the sign says STOP." "But (4) the way was clear and it was safe" replied the motorist.
The officer then pulled out his
(5) batton and started hitting the motorist. "What are you doing!"
(6) yelled the motorist in surprise. "Stop hitting me!". The policeman then asked "Do you
want me to slow down or stop?".
