Two cars are waiting at a stoplight. The light turns green, but the woman in the first car doesn’t notice it. A man in the car behind her is watching traffic pass around them. He starts pounding on his steering wheel and yelling at the woman to move. The woman doesn’t move. The man is going ballistic inside his car, ranting and raving at the woman, pounding on his steering wheel and dash. The light turns yellow and the man begins to blow the car horn, flips her off, and screams profanity and curses at the woman.

The woman looks up, sees the yellow light and accelerates through the intersection just as the light turns red.

The man is beside himself, screaming in frustration as he misses his chance to get through the intersection. As he is still in mid-rant he hears a tap on his window and looks up into the barrel of a gun held by a very serious looking policeman. The policeman tells him to turn off his engine while keeping both hands in sight. Then the policeman orders him to exit his car with his hands up. He gets out of the car and is ordered to turn and place his hands on his car. He turns, places his hands on the car roof and quickly is cuffed and hustled into the patrol car. He is too bewildered by the chain of events to ask any questions and is driven to the police station where he is fingerprinted, photographed, searched, booked and placed in a cell.

After a couple of hours, a policeman approaches the cell and opens the door. He is escorted back to the booking desk where the original officer is waiting with his personal effects. He hands him the bag containing his things, and says, “I’m really sorry for this mistake. But you see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping the lady off in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at her. Then I noticed the “Choose Life” license plate holder, the “What Would Jesus Do?” bumper sticker, 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.”
