Mistaken Identity
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 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, 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
'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, naturally.....
I assumed
you had
stolen the
car."
