The Church Gossip
Mildred, the church gossip, and self-appointed monitor of the
church's
morals, kept sticking her nose into other people's business. Several
members did not approve of her extra curricular 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 old pickup parked in front of
the
town's only bar one afternoon. She emphatically told George and
several
others 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
turned
and walked away. He didn't explain, defend, or deny. He said
nothing.
Later that evening, George quietly parked his pickup truck in front
of
Mildred's house........ and left it there all night
hahaha, I guess that fixed her
