Lead us not into temptation!

A driver tucked this note under the windshield wiper of his automobile for a police officer to read. "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, right?"

When he came back, he found a parking ticket from the police officer on duty and this note: "Friend, 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."
