Five Hundred Times

In the traffic court of a large mid-western city, a young lady was brought before the judge to answer a ticket given her for driving through a red light.

She explained to his honor that she was a school teacher and requested an immediate disposal of her case in order that she might hasten on to her classes.

A wild gleam came into the judge's eye.

"You are a school teacher, eh?" said he.

"Madam, I shall realize my lifelong ambition. Sit down at that table and write 'I went through a red light' five hundred times."
