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, finger printed, 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 a blue 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."
