When Good People Go Bad
A woman pulls up to a red light behind one other car. She notices the driver of the car in front of her is talking on his cell phone and appears to be shuffling through some papers on the seat beside him, not paying attention.
The light turns green, but the man doesn't notice. The woman waits, but the man doesn't notice the light change. The woman begins pounding on her steering wheel and yelling at the man to move. The man doesn't move. The woman is going ballistic inside her car, ranting and raving at the man, pounding on her steering wheel and dash, waving her hands and making a gesture.
The light turns yellow. The woman begins to blow the car horn and scream curses at the man. The man hearing the commotion, looks up, sees the yellow light and accelerates through the intersection just as the light turns red. The woman is beside herself, screaming in frustration as she misses her chance to get through the intersection.
As she is still in mid-rant she hears a tap on her
window and looks up into the barrel of a gun held by a very serious looking policeman. The policeman tells her to shut off her car while keeping both hands in sight. She complies, speechless at what is happening. After she shuts off the engine the policeman orders her to exit her car with her hands up. She gets out of the car and he orders her to turn and place her hands on her car.
She turns, places her hands on the car roof and
quickly is cuffed and hustled into the patrol car.
She is too bewildered by the chain of events to ask any questions and she is driven to the police station where she is fingerprinted, photographed, searched, booked and placed in a cell.
After a couple of hours, a policeman approaches the cell and opens the door for her. She is escorted back to the booking desk where the original officer is waiting with her personal effects.
He hands her the bag containing her things, and says, "I'm sorry for this mistake. But you see, as I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn and cussing a blue streak at the car in front of you and then I noticed the "Choose Life" license plate holder and 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."

In response to message posted by H2O:You know, our minister read this story to the congregation a couple of weeks ago. There appeared quite a few read faces in the crowd! Thank you for sharing this story with everyone, a reality check is good for everyone.

» H2O - Bumper St(n)ickers
Our national church organization used to encourage members to affix "Come to the WELS" (WELS = Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod) on their cars. One of my seminary profs, however, questioned the wisdom of someone with a bad driving record/habits having such a bumper sticker on his/her car.john
