Daily Inspiration: A Lesson in Patience and Judgement on the Busy Boulevard

[janetupnorth]

A stressed out woman on a busy boulevard was tailgating a man. 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 was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration, as she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping 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 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, flipping off the person 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 stickers, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk; so naturally...I assumed you had stolen the car.


Priceless!!!!

Is that a vote against bumper stickers? Hmmm...makes you remember that if you have PC anywhere on your vehicle, you should probably act accordingly. I know there have been consultants that are found out at a show .

I've heard Joyce Meyer tell this story. In fact, I just heard her tell it on one of the teaching series I was listening to on the way to work!

I had heard that one before and is still made me smile. Maybe this one will do the same for someone.....

WALMART MURDER!

Tired of constantly being broke & stuck in an unhappy marriage, a young husband decided to solve both problems by taking out a large insurance policy on his wife with himself as the beneficiary, & then arranging to have her killed.
A 'friend of a friend' put him in touch with a nefarious dark-side underworld figure who went by the name of 'Artie.'

Artie then explained to the husband that his going price for snuffing out a spouse was $5,000. The husband said he was willing to pay that amount, but that he wouldn't have any cash on hand until he could collect his wife's insurance money.

Artie insisted on being paid at least something up front, so the man opened his wallet, displaying the single dollar bill that rested inside. Artie sighed, rolled his eyes, & reluctantly agreed to accept the dollar as down payment for the dirty deed.

A few days later, Artie followed the man's wife to the local Super WalMart store.

There, he surprised her in the produce department & proceeded to strangle her with his gloved hands & as the poor unsuspecting woman drew her last breath & slumped to the floor........

The manager of the produce department stumbled unexpectedly onto the murder scene. Unwilling to leave any living witnesses behind, ol' Artie had no choice but to strangle the produce manager as well.

However, unknown to Artie, the entire proceedings were captured by the hidden security cameras & observed by the store's security guard, who immediately called the police.

Artie was caught & arrested before he could even leave the store. Under intense questioning at the police station, Artie revealed the whole sordid plan, including his unusual financial arrangements with the hapless husband who was also quickly arrested.

The next day in the newspaper,
the headline declared ...




(You're going to hate me for this ... )









'ARTIE CHOKES 2 for a $1.00 AT WALMART!'

You've never been in Madison, Wisconsin, then, where people have so much trouble deciding which bumper sticker to put on their cars that they just go ahead and put them all on it! There are cars in Madison where you cannot identify the make of the car because the entire back end is covered with bumper stickers.

ROFLOL! Oh my goodness, never thought about that but it is SOOOO true!

...and they all seem to drive little Escort-style or other compact cars with a hatchback covered with stickers.
