SOME TALK THE TALK, BUT MAY STUMBLE WALKING THE TALK
Author Unknown
November 26, 2010
A man was being tailgated by a stressed-out woman on a busy boulevard.
Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the
right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have
beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.
The tailgating woman hit the roof, and the horn, screaming in
frustration as she missed her chance to get through the intersection
with him. 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 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, flipping the guy off in
front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'What
Would Jesus Do" bumper sticker, the 'Follow Me to Sunday School'
bumper sticker and the chrome-plated fish emblem on the trunk.
Naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car."
