Irate Driver

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 your 'Choose Life' license
plate holder, your 'What Would Jesus Do" bumper sticker, your '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."
