You're Under Arrest
Two cars are waiting at a stoplight. The light turns green, but
the man in front doesn't notice it. A woman in the car behind
him is watching traffic pass around them. She 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. The woman begins to blow the car horn,
flips him off, and screams 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 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
really sorry for this mistake, but you see, I pulled up behind
your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping that guy
off, and cussing a blue streak at the car in front of you. Then
I noticed the "What Would Jesus Do" and "Follow Me to Sunday
School" bumper stickers, and the chrome plated Christian fish
emblem on the trunk, so naturally I assumed you had stolen the
car."
