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 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 'What Would Jesus
Do" bumper sticker, the 'Follow Me to Sunday School'
bumper sticker and
the chrome-plated fish emblem on the trunk. Naturally, I
assumed you
had stolen the car."
