A New York man was forced to take a day off from work to appear for a minor traffic summons. He grew increasingly restless as he waited hour after endless hour for his case to be heard.
When his name was called late in the afternoon, he stood before the judge, only to hear that court would be adjourned for the next day and he would have to return the next day.

A wild gleam immediately appeared in the judge's eyes. "So, you're a school teacher, are you?" he said. "I shall finally realize my lifelong ambition. I have waited years to have a school teacher in my court. Now, sit down at that table and write, 'I will not drive through a red light 500 times'!"
