Snowy Sunday Musings

I take no responsibility for this, I am simply a messenger…

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 brakes, then 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.”
