If you can't stand hypocrisy...
My dad emailed me this. Had to blog it.
An honest man was being tailgated by a stressed out woman on a busyboulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him.He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he couldhave beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.The tailgating woman hit the roof, and the horn, screaming in frustrationas she missed her chance to get through the intersection. As she was stillin mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of avery serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car withher 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 policeman approached the cell and opened thedoor. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officerwas waiting with her personal effects.
He said, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind yourcar while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you,and cussing a blue streak at him. "I noticed the 'Choose Life' licenseplate holder, the What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the 'Follow Me toSunday-School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblemon the trunk.
Naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car."
He,he....
