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.
You gotta love George.
