My wife and I were vacationing in another state recently when we
enountered the traffic jam from hell. I mean, it was gridlock for a half
hour at a time, move ten feet, and sit another half hour. It was hot, it
was muggy, the police were desperately trying their best, people were
cursing at them (and each other) -- it was just a really bad scene. On a
whim, I rolled down my window when we passed one of those officers, held
out a GOOHF card and said, "Hi. I think you could probably use this!" He
looked at it, looked at me for a long moment ...and started laughing.
"Mister", he said. "You have NO idea!!" We chatted for a few moments, and
ended up parking behind his squad car beneath a shade tree at his
invitation while the mess sorted itself out. Meanwhile, other officers
who wandered by also wanted a card. My cards turned a bum day into
something bearable, and we made a few new friends along the way.
Thanks!!!
