Contributed by Dr. Larry Petton on Oct 28, 2019 (message contributor)
A young driver was in a hurry to get to an appointment and illegally parked his car. He left this note under the windshield wiper of his auto: So sorry, but I have circled the block for twenty minutes. I am late for an appointment and if I don't park here, I'll lose my job! "FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES".
When the driver of the car came back, he was shocked when he found a parking ticket on his windshield with the following note: I've circled this block for twenty years as a police officer....if I don't give you a ticket, I will lose my job! "LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION!"
