"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 in front of
Mildred's house . . walked home . . and left it there all night.
You gotta love George!!
