A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn't find a space with a meter. So he put a note under the windshield wiper that read: "I have circled the block 100 times. If I don't park here, I'll miss my appointment. FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES."
When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along with this note. "I've circled this block for 10 years. If I don't give you a ticket, I'll lose my job. LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION."

Interesting
I think the minister made a quick and wise decision and the policeman made a clever response...
By the way, I have circled mylot for more than 10 days. If I don't reply to such a interesting story, I will feel very disappointed. Please allow me to reply..

Oh, I love that. That is priceless! My dad is a preacher and sure, he might have parked in front of a meter if he could not find a spot. But he would have written a note that said, "Thanks for the ticket. Now have a nice day!" He has done that when he has gotten a ticket. It shocks the police so much. that one time the policeman who gave him the ticket - asked for it back, then tore it up!

I am totally agree with the policeman who gives the feedback in more better way..but in my country ministers never scared of anything and where ever they park their car parking starts from there..Because of curruption here policeman feared to take away a ministers car..I think rules should me made more strict regarding these matter it can harm anybody..

Nowadays the Government officials forget the traffic rules and follow their own way. Recently, in one of the major crowded roads, a vehicle with a top light stopped at the corner. The Official from the car opened the door without seeing if anyone came at the back. Unfortunately, a motorist came at the back of the car hit the door of the car and was injured severly. The Official just asked a Sorry and left that place into the building. The Driver of that car put again the top light, removed the Designation of the official from the car and left.

A young Jewish boy didn't like to study and always got bad grades in school. His father kept changing schools for him but with the same results. One day he was talking to Father O'Reilly and told him about it. So the priest suggested that he send him to a Catholic school which had a lot of discipline. The father thought a moment and asked...."can I do that seeing as how he is not Catholic?" "of course, was the reply.
So the next day the father took him to the school and left hem there saying that this was the last chance that he had to make good.
The following day the boy and his father was given the grand tour. After stepping through the entrance door the boys eyes opened wide but he didn't say anything.
At the end of the first semester the school sent the boy's grades home.....they were all A's. When the father saw this he was flabberghasted and called his son immediately to tell him how wonderful it was that he had finally straightened himself how. When he asked him what made him change his mind about studying the boy replied, "when I walked through that entrance door and saw that dude hanging on the cross I knew that those people meant business".

I still wouldn't have given him a ticket. God is first and in control. God would have made sure the officier wouldn't have lost his job over helping one of his own.

I apoligize for taking this seriously because I don't recognize jokes concerning my Lord. I didn't mean to offend. I had to respond like this. I hope this does make someone else laugh.

What was the answer from the minister after that.
In India it should be a transfer of the police Ofifcer to a remote place. But i other countries like US the police officer must have been rewarded.
