One hot summer’s day, a North Carolina man was filling up his pick-up truck at the local gas station. He wasn’t very careful, and he got gasoline all over his left shirt sleeve. He ignored it, and left the station after paying for the gas. As he was driving down the highway, a guy in the car in front of him tossed a lit cigarette butt out the window. As luck would have it, it landed on the pickup driver’s sleeve and set it on fire! The man drove faster, waving his arm out the window in an attempt to extinguish the flames, but it just burned all the more! As he sped down the highway, a state trooper saw the situation and pulled him over. He jerked the man out of the truck and rolled him on the ground until the fire was extinguished. As the man dusted himself and thanked his rescuer, he saw that the officer was writing him a traffic citation! Confused, he asked: “You’re writing me a ticket!? What in heaven’s name for?” The officer replied: … … “Possession of an illegal fire arm.” |
