A note exchange
A driver tucked a note under her windshield wiper and dashed off:
“I’ve circled the block for 20 minutes. I’m late for an appointment, and if I don’t park here I’ll lose my job. Forgive us our trespasses.”
Returning, she came back only to find a parking ticket and this note:
“I’ve circled the block for 20 years, and if I don’t give you a ticket, I’ll lose my job… Lead us not into temptation.”
