If you are the first car at a stop light, you must pay attention. No cell phones, no CD switching, no make up adjusting, no digging through the glove box. You must must must go immediately when the light turns green. You simply must, no exceptions, no excuses. You must not fail. You owe it to every car behind you, especially that poor schmuck who is fifth or sixth in line. Pay attention. It is your sacred duty.
If you are an employer and one of your employees is arrested at work for not paying a speeding ticket six months earlier, and you convince the employee to use his one and only phone call to tell you the amount needed to post bail so the employee can work that day, you must never, ever, under any circumstances, get busy with work and forget to actually bail the employee out. Use a sticky note or something.
However, if you do forget, and your employee ends up spending 22 hours in jail – wearing the black and white checkered pants, white shirt and black bow tie that is your company uniform – and all of his meals are stolen by the six real criminals in his cell and he doesn’t sleep nor go to the bathroom for fear, and his mother comes crying at 2 a.m. but can’t bail him out because the bail bondsman is gone for the night, when you finally do bail him out the next morning, don’t be surprised if he doesn’t come to work that day.
