It is so hard to live up to the labels we wear, or even to remember what labels we are wearing. The following story just made me laugh.

A 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 with him. 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 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 chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk, the 'What Would Jesus Do' and the 'Follow Me to Sunday School' bumper stickers. Naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car."
