A man was being tailgated by a stressed out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow. Even though he could have beaten the red light by flooring it and accelerating through the intersection, he did the right thing by stopping at the busy crosswalk. The tailgating woman behind him was furious and honked her horn. She screamed in frustration as she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup. As she was still in mid-rant, there was a tap on her window. She 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, finger printed, photographed, and placed in a holding cell. After a couple of hours, a guard approached the cell and opened the door. He escorted her back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects. The officer 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. Naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car."
