Mistaken
Identity
An honest man is being tailgated by a
stressed-out woman on a busy
boulevard. Suddenly, the light turns yellow, just in front of
him. He does the honest thing and stops at the crosswalk, even
though he could
have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.
The tailgating woman
hits the roof, and the horn, reaming in
frustration as she misses her chance to get through the intersection
with him. As she is still in mid-rant, she hears a tap on her
window and looks up into the face of a very serious police officer.
The officer orders her
to exit her car with her hands up. He takes her
to the police station where she is searched, fingerprinted,
photographed, and placed in a cell.
After a couple of
hours, a policeman approaches the cell and opens the
door. She is escorted back to the booking desk where the
arresting officer is waiting with her personal effects.
He says, "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 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. Naturally I assumed you had
stolen the car."
