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.
Don't ya just love ol' George?
