Default Today's Anecdote - Thought Provoking

Subject: Road Rage

Two cars were waiting at a stoplight. The light turned green, but the
man didn't notice it. A woman in the car behind him is watching traffic
pass around them. 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. The light turns yellow
and the woman begins to blow the car horn, flips him off, and screams
profanity and curses at the man.

The man, 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 then handcuffs her and takes her to the police station
where she is finger printed, 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 and says, "I'm
really sorry for this mistake. But 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 Christian fish
emblem on the trunk.

Naturally I assumed you had stolen the car."

Let's be nice out there! ORS

Bumper stikers can get you in trouble, in more than one way. It is funny in a way but not realy. If any of us was arested for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict us?

I guess we're still human, no matter how we try to duct tape ourselves together with bumper stickers. [img]graemlins/1zhelp.gif[/img]

Very thought provoking. It just goes to show you that, be our actions good or bad, we're examples to those around us! A good reminder for all! :smile:
