Traffic Joke

Via BOPNews, I encountered this joke about keeping your temper:

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 right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.

The tailgating woman hit the roof and the 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, finger printed, 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, flipping off the guy 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."

Actually, this applies to just about any bumper sticker you have. I have read more than one essay that points out the humor of going 'for a drive around Reno some Saturday afternoon, and count[ing] the number of tricked-out, gaz-guzzling SUVs you see sporting a "Keep Tahoe Blue" bumper sticker.' Plus, when you cut someone off in traffic, odds are that someone is going to look at the political candidate of choice you have emblazoned on your bumper and start to wonder if all of that candidate's supporters are as boorish as you are. So chill out when driving around town. Better yet, ride your bicycle more often.
