An honest man is being tailgated by a stressed out woman on a busy
boulevard. Suddenly,
the light turns yellow, just in front of him. He does the honest thing,
and stops
at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by
accelerating
through the intersection. The tailgating woman hits the roof, and the
horn, screaming
in frustration as she misses her chance to get through the intersection
with him.
As she is still in mid rant, she hears a tap on her window and looks up
into the
face of a very serious police officer. The officer orders her to exit
her car with
her hands up. He takes her to the police station where she is searched,
finger printed,
photographed, and placed in a cell.
After a couple of hours, a police officer approaches the cell and opens
the door.
She is escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer is
waiting
with her personal effects.
He says, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind
your
car while you were blowing your horn, flipping the guy off in front of
you, and
cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'Choose Life' license plate
holder,
the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the 'Follow Me to Sunday
School' bumper
sticker, and the chrome plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk."
"Naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car."
