The light turned yellow, just in front of him.
He did the right thing and stopped at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.
The tailgating woman behind him was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration, as she missed her chance to get through the intersection.
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 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, giving the guy in front of you the finger and cursing at him.
I noticed the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, 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.''

A couple are sitting in their living room, sipping wine. Out of the blue, the wife murmurs, "I love you."
"Is that you or the wine talking?" asks the husband.
"It's me," says the wife, "talking to the wine."

I asked my class of eight-year-olds to imagine, discuss with a partner then draw what they thought our school would look like if they came back in fifty years time. As I was looking at one drawing, I recognised our classroom and asked the girl drawing it who the person was that was waving out the window.
"That's you as a ghost," she smiled. "You're still in our classroom and you're waving to me! Of course, you realise, don't you, that you won't really be around by then?"
Ever wonder what your child said to their teacher today????
