(14,779 posts)In my grade school days, I had to cross a four lane highway to get to school. At the crossing was a female, unarmed Police officer (NOT a Crossing Guard, she was a Police Officer, he had the right to give tickets, and did). Don't speed through her intersection or ignore she hand orders to stop. Every so often she would ticket the wrong person and get fired (Most of the people she gave tickets to lived in the new suburban development up the hill from the intersection). but then all of the people in the old coal patch where I lived (and the School was located) protested and she got her old job back.
Anyway one day the township dump truck drove by to do some work on a side road. As they were working she jested to them that the Plate on the truck was completely covered with mud and no one could read it and she should give them a ticket unless it gets clean, The truck driver then walked over to the truck and rub his hand on the dirt and said "See, you can rad it now" and they both laughed and went back to their jobs, her making sure it was safe for the kids to cross the highway, his to keep the road clean.
