I notice that there was a cop sitting at a railway crossing yesterday. I stopped and asked what he was doing.

His reply was that he was very surprised at the number of cars which did not stop at the crossing (it has a Stop sign).

I informed him that it is just a short loading spur and that it is used only once or twice a week. Even then the trains travel no faster than 5 Kph.

His comeback was that if people break the law here they probably do it other places also. I agreed that people probably do, all the time.
