A schoolteacher was given a ticket for driving through a red light. When
she appeared in traffic court, she asked the judge for immediate attention
to her case as she was due to be back in class. The judge looked at her
sternly and said:
"So you're a schoolteacher. I am about to realize a lifelong ambition. You
sit down at that table over there and write 'I went through a stop sign.'
FIVE HUNDRED TIMES!"
