Paper or Scissors

A cop pulled me over and shouted, "Papers!" I shouted, "Scissors!" and drove off.

Listen, you smooth-brained chucklehead, you really thought that cop wanted to play rock-paper-scissors? You're as sharp as a marble. The person is using wordplay to respond to the officer in a silly way. The officer is asking for "papers" meaning identification, like a driver's license. The person says "scissors" as a silly response and drives away, which isn't really smart. It's funny because it is absurd and unexpected.
