Traffic light

[hihosland]

The light turned orange as he approached the traffic lights.

 

He did the right thing and stopped, 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.''
