An honest 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 honest thing, and stopped at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.
The tailgating woman hit the roof, and her horn, she was screaming in frustration as she missed her chance ofet through the intersection with him.
As she wastill in mid-rant, she hears a tap on her window and looked 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, finger printed, 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 "Choose Life" license plate holder, 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.

LOL.... ;D
Reminds me of a couple weeks ago I was in the left turn lane and I heard sirens but couldn't see where it was coming from. As I approached the intersection the left turn arrow faded away to the general green light and I slowed down to let the opposing traffic go....but they weren't moving either because of the siren.
Sirens still blaring I looked around and saw an ambulance coming from the cross road to the right. It actually started driving in the wrong lane to get by traffic. But I also noticed this lady in an SUV behind me getting annoyed and honked her horn a couple of times.
So as I waited for the ambulance to drive by, she blasted her horn again, shaking her hands at me and I could see she was telling me to go. As I was looking in the rear view mirror, I calmly raised my right hand and gave her the bird. The expression was priceless...one of shock and not anger. Specially when she finally saw the ambulance cross right in front of us.

I was driving to a store couple weeks ago with my wife when we also heard a siren that turned out to be an ambulance. We were already stopped at a traffic light so the ambulance had no impact on us. On the cross street (which had the green light) was the ambulance (siren blaring) coming toward the intersection. There was a car stopped in the middle of the intersection waiting for the ambulance to pass. Coming of behind that car was a lady in an SUV that decided to gun it around the stopped car, turned directly in front of the ambulance as it was reaching the intersection about to turn the same direction. The lady in the SUV raced on apparently oblivious to the ambulance now following behind her. My wife and I just looked at each other incredulously about what we'd just seen. Normally she looks at me in a similar manner about something I'd just done or said.
