Светофор горел красным, поэтому старик остановил свой автомобиль и ждал, пока он не поменяется на зеленый. Пока он ждал, полицейский автомобиль приблизился к нему сзади, сильно врезался в кузов его автомобиля и остановился. В полицейской машине было двое полицейских, и они были очень удивлены и рады, когда старик вышел из своей машины и подошел к ним без каких-либо проблем после такой аварии. Ему было больше 70 лет.
Старик подошел к двери полицейской машины, доброжелательно улыбнулся и сказал: "Скажите, молодой человек, как вы останавливаете машину, когда горит красный, а меня здесь нет?"
