The traffic light wasn’t working at the corner, so a lady stood with a large crowd of people waiting to cross, while a cop directed traffic. Finally, the cop blew his whistle and stopped the eastbound traffic, motioned to the crowd, and shouted, “Okay, pedestrians!�?nbsp; The crowd surged across the intersection �?all except the lady, who stayed on the corner.

When the walkers were safely on the other side of the street, the cop moved the cross-traffic through the intersection. Half a minute later, he stopped the cars westbound traffic, and sent the eastbound traffic into motion. Again, he got around to the lady’s corner; where by this time a crowd of people had again joined her. Tweeeeeeeet! “Okay, pedestrians!�?The crowd crossed the street, but again the lady stayed put.

She looked at her watch and tapped her foot as if she was in a hurry to get somewhere, but never budged from the sidewalk. The cop ran the traffic through seven more cycles, each time blowing his whistle and then yelling “Okay, pedestrians!�?the lady never moved.

Finally, after the cop yelled “Okay, pedestrians!�?for the eighth time, the woman shouted across traffic, “Hey! Officer! You keep letting the Presbyterians go, isn’t it about time you let those of us who go to other churches cross?�?/FONT>
