Sarah, the church gossip and
self-appointed supervisor of the church's morals, kept sticking her nose into
other people's business. Several residents were unappreciative of her
activities, but feared her enough to maintain their silence.
She made a
mistake, however, in accusing new-member George after she saw his pickup truck
parked all afternoon in front of the town's only bar. Said Sarah, "Everyone
seeing it there would just know that he was an alcoholic!"
George, a
taciturn sort, stared at her for a moment before simply walking away, saying
nothing.
Later that evening, George parked his pickup in front of
Sarah's house.
And proceeded to leave it there all night.
