Some talk the talk, but may stumble walking the talk

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 hit the roof, and the horn, screaming in
frustration as
she missed her chance to get through the intersection with him. 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, fingerprinted, photographed,
and
placed in a 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 the guy off in front of
you,
and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'What Would Jesus Do"
bumper sticker, the 'Follow Me to Sunday School' bumper sticker and the
chrome-plated fish emblem on the trunk. Naturally, I assumed you had
stolen
the car."
