Church Gossip

Mildred, the church gossip and self-appointed arbiter

of the church's morals, kept sticking her nose in the

other members' private lives. Church members were

unappreciative of her 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

pickup truck parked in front of the town's only bar

one afternoon.

She commented to George and 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 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... and left it there all night!
