Go In Peace

A man is being tailgated by a stressed-out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turns yellow, just in front of him. He does the honest thing, and stops at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the redlight by accelerating through the intersection.

The tailgating woman hits the roof, and the horn, screaming in frustrationas she misses her chance to get through the intersection with him. As she isstill in mid-rant, she hears a tap on her window and looks up into the face of a very serious police officer.

The officer orders her to exit her car with her hands up. He takes her to the police station where she is searched, fingerprinted, photographed, andplaced in a cell. After a couple of hours, a police officer approaches thecell and opens the door. She is escorted back to the booking desk where thearresting officer is waiting with her personal effects.

He says, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind yourcar 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 plateholder, the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the 'Follow Me to SundaySchool' bumper sticker, and the chrome plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk."

"Naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car."
