The Gossip
Sarah, the church gossip and self-appointed supervisor of the church's
morals, kept sticking her nose into other people's business.
Several residents 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.
She commented to George and others that everyone seeing it there would know
that he was an alcoholic.
George, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and just walked away.
He said nothing.
Later that evening, George quietly parked his pickup in front of Sarah's
house...............
AND he left it there all night.
