run+red+light

You speed through the red-light, happy that you are going to beat your boss to work and keep your job. Just as you are about to pull into the parking lot, you see the dreaded cop lights behind. You sigh and pull over. You roll down your window and wait as the cop slowly walks towards your car.

The cop comes up to your window and asks why you just ran that red light.

You tell the truth hoping that she has some compassion.

You lie - making up some sob story about how to you were rushing to the hospital to visit your mom. She only has a few moments left and you want to be with her.
