A minister of a church got pinged for speeding and he received a considerable fine.He wrote to the traffic department and he said:
“Dear Sir, I am a minister of the church and I was speeding because I was on my way to help some needy people. Forgive us our trespasses.”
Some time later he received this reply from the traffic department:
“Dear Reverend, I am a servant of the state and an upholder of justice. You were issued with a fine because you were breaking the law. Do not lead us into temptation.”
