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, fingerprinted,
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, so
naturally.... I assumed you had stolen the car.''
Priceless.
