HONEST MISTAKE
An honest man is being tailgated by a stressed-out woman on a busy
boulevard. Suddenly, the light turns yellow, just in front of him. He
does the honest thing, and stops at the crosswalk, even though he
could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the
intersection.
The tailgating woman hits the roof, and the horn, screaming in
frustration as she misses her chance to get through the intersection
with him. As she is still in mid-rant, she hears a tap on her window
and looks up into the face of a very serious police officer.
The officer orders her to exit her car with her hands up. He takes
her to the police station where she is searched, fingerprinted,
photographed, and placed in a cell.
After a couple of hours, a policeman approaches the cell and opens the
door. She is escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting
officer is waiting with her personal effects.
He says, ''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.''
