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."
