Traffic Jam

[Guest guest]

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. "

entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand. "
