Pedestrian Walks Into Gift
From America comes an amusing story about pedestrians and the way they sometimes behave. A group of people stood on the corner of a busy street, waiting the signal to cross. As they started forward, the "Go" light changed to red. All but one lady took a chance and raced across the street. The traffic officer approached the lady who had waited, and handed her a ticket. It entitled her to fifteen dollars’ worth of merchandise at a department store as a reward for her compliance with the traffic laws.
