conflicting images of who you are and who you want to be

The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn and screamed 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, 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 '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, Naturally...I assumed you had stolen
the car.'
