Practice What You Preach

The light turned green, but the man didn't notice it. A woman

in the car behind him is watching traffic pass around them.

The woman begins pounding on her steering wheel and

yelling at the man to move. The man doesn't move.

The woman is going ballistic inside her car, ranting and

raving at the man, pounding on her steering wheel and

dash. The light turns yellow and the woman begins to

blow the car horn, flips him off, and screams profanity

and curses at the man.

The man, looks up, sees the yellow light and accelerates

through the intersection just as the light turns red.

The woman is beside herself, screaming in frustration as

she misses her chance to get through the intersection. As

she is still in mid-rant she hears a tap on her window and

looks up into the barrel of a gun held by a very serious

looking policeman.

The policeman tells her to shut off her car while keeping

both hands in sight. She complies, speechless at what is happening. After
she
shuts off the engine, the policeman

orders her to exit her car with her hands up.

She gets out of the car and he orders her to turn and place

her hands on her car then handcuffs her and takes her to

the police station where she is fingerprinted, photographed, searched, booked

and placed in a cell.

After a couple of hours, a policeman approaches the cell

and opens the door for her. She is escorted back to the

booking desk where the original officer is waiting with her

personal effects and says,



"I'm really sorry for this mistake. But 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."
