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.
Unfortunately, tailgating, Barbara was furious and honked her
horn, screaming in frustration, as Barbara missed her chance to
get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup.
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, flipping off
the guy in front of you and cussing a blue streak 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.''
