I was caught speeding the other day, but the cop was Presbyterian.  I showed him my official Real Human Being card and he apologized and waved me on by.

I chatted with him  at church later and he confessed he didn’t always read the radar right.  He had in my case (not that it mattered), but some foreign cars just distracted him and he would jump the gun–pull out with lights flashing before realizing they weren’t speeding.  He shrugged and said in those cases he had to follow through and issue a citation.  Otherwise no one would respect the law.

I confess I had been a little put out by the inconvenience, but I saw him writing an Anglican a speeding ticket this morning and it made me feel better.

Just so long as everyone knows their place and we treat our real family with the proper respect.
