1584 - Dear Lord

If I'd had this joke a few days ago I would have posted it with ..... Hey, here's the picture again.


THE YELLOW LIGHT

The traffic light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the limit line, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection. The tailgating woman was furious, honking her horn and screaming in frustration, as she missed her chance to get through the intersection. She even dropped 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 the car with her hands up. He cuffed her and took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a holding cell.

After a couple of hours, another officer approached the cell and opened the door. The woman 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, ma’am. 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 '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."

********


OK, now here's something else to do. Rent and watch a movie. I saw this on Netflix with Claudia. She liked it and so did I. It has an 8 out of 10 on the IMDb. And it's part of a theme with the joke. It's only an hour and a half long. THE MAN FROM EARTH. (The link takes you to the IMDb.)

Oh god I love that! And it is so true nothing like being flipped off by someone whose bumper sticker reads "jesus is my copilot"

Yeah, if you need all that stuff to make people believe you're a Christian, maybe you'd better just forget it.

I'll borrow this and check out the movie.
