From the Mailbag...

The light turned orange as he approached the traffic lights.
He did the right thing and stopped at the crosswalk, even
though he might have beaten the red light by accelerating
through the intersection.

The tailgating woman behind him was furious and honked her
horn, screaming in frustration, as she missed her chance
to get through the intersection.

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 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, giving the guy in front of you the finger and cursing 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, so naturally .....

I assumed you had stolen the car.''

  1. Traffic detour yesterday. I stopped to let an older gent in a truck pull out in front of me. He was a little slow. The lady in the car behind was all over the horn. Rude and inconsiderate behaviour is increasing....
    Sadly.
