Subject: FW: Tailgater
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 was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration as she missed her
chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup.
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, finger printed, photographed and placed in a holding 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 off the guy 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."
