In a traffic court of a large Midwestern city, a young lady
was brought before the judge to answer for a ticket given
her for driving through a red light. She explained to His
Honor that she was a schoolteacher and requested an
immediate disposal of her case so she could get to the
school on time. A wild gleam came into the judge's eye.
"You're a schoolteacher, eh?" he said. "Madam, I shall
realize my lifelong ambition. I've waited years to have a
schoolteacher in this court. Sit down at that table and
write 'I will not run through red-lights 500 times!"
