SARCASTIC AND CHARMING

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.''
