A 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 was furious and
honked her horn, screaming in frustration, as she missed her chance to
get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup.
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 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 up a streak at him.' I noticed the 'What Would Jesus
Do?' bumper sticker, the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, 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.'
Priceless.
