An honest man was being tailgated by a stressed-out woman on a busy
boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him.
He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could
have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.
The tailgating woman hit the roof, and the horn, screaming in frustration
as she missed her chance to get through the intersection with him.
As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked
up
into the face of a very serious police officer.
The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her
to
the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed,
and
placed in a cell.
After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened
the
door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer
was waiting with her personal effects.
He said, "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."
