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.
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, finger-printed, and photographed, and then placed
in a holding 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 off the guy 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!"
