In the 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 dismissal of her case so she could get to the school on time.
A wild gleam came into the judge’s eyes. "You’re a schoolteacher, eh?" he said. "Madam, I shall realize my lifelong ambition. I’ve waited many long years to have a schoolteacher in this court. Now sit down at that table and write ’I will not drive through red lights’ 500 times!"
