TAILGATING

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."

I shouldve never posted the sentence:It sounds like an attack on the Catholic church

I apologize.

I never intended to offend any Catholics, sorry if I did, especially you, Paula.

Just telling a story I found interesting.

Hey, we got spammed with our own site on a dead thread. How cool is that?

Oh man! I don't come on for a few days and the fireworks fly??? What'd I miss?

Personally I find it very condescending when people say "I'll pray for you" because it just sounds so insincere.

That being said, I wouldn't tell someone "don't say this or that" because of my strong belief in freedom of speech. Everyone has the right to say what they want to say, even if I don't like it, and that includes saying they'll pray for me OR God-bashing or whatever. That is a benefit of living in America.

But I agree with the fact that when people say "I'll pray for you" it's very, very annoying.

Many members will probably pray for you so that you can become Enlightened enough to be happy when they tell you, "I'll pray for you".:frusty:
