Care for a Nightcap?
I received the following anecdote in an email from a friend.
Care for a Nightcap?
Author Unknown
Sara, the church gossip and self-appointed arbiter of the church's morals, kept sticking her nose into other people's business. Several members were unappreciative of her activities, but feared her enough to maintain their silence. She made a mistake, however, when she accused George, a new member, of being an alcoholic after she saw his pickup truck parked in front of the town's only bar one afternoon, Sara told George and other members of the congregation that everyone seeing it there would know what he was doing. George, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and just walked away. He didn't explain, defend, or deny. He said nothing.
Later that evening George parked his pickup in front of Sara's house, and left it there for the night.
