A stressed-out woman on a busy street was tailgating a cautious man. Suddenly, the light turned amber, just in front of him.
He did the right thing, stopping at the crossing, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the junction.
The tailgating woman hit the roof--and the horn--screaming in frustration as she missed her chance to get through the junction.
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 get out of her car with her hands up and hand cuffed her. 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 custody 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, mouthing off the guy in front of you, and swearing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'Choose Life' number 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 boot.
Naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car."
