Mistaken Identity?

[Snowflake]

An honest, law-abiding man is being tailgated by a stressed-out woman on a busy boulevard.

Suddenly, the light turns yellow, just in front of him.

He does the legally-correct thing and stops at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.

The tailgating woman hits the roof, and the horn, screaming in frustration as she misses her chance to get through the intersection with him.

As she is still in mid-rant, she hears a tap on her window and looks up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer orders her to exit her car with her hands up.

He takes her to the police station where she is searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a cell.

After a couple of hours, a policeman approaches the cell and opens the door. She is escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer is waiting with her personal effects.

He says, "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."

(So it's not exactly a joke, it's a story with a moral...)

Perfect!

Reminds me of advice I got once: "Never say anything in public you wouldn't want your pastor to hear".

Oh, how often I have seen this story in real life.
