A blond police officer pulled over a blond motorist for a traffis violation.
"Let me see your identification."
"What is that?" replied the motorist.
Since she herself was blond and knew what she was dealing with, the police officer replied, "It is in your purse and has your picture on it."
The blond motorist spent several minutes looking through her purse and finally came up with a makeup compact. She opened it up and when she saw her face in the small mirror she said, "Oh I found it. Here it is." She then gave it to the policewoman.
When the police officer looked into the mirror she said, "Oh I'm sorry. If I had known you were a police officer I never would have pulled you over."

The question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?
