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."
