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.
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
'Choose Life' license plate holder,
the What Would ***** 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."
