A pastor was driving on the expressway when he met a
team of
MobilePolicemen (otherwise known as MOPOL), who quite
naturally, wanted 'something'from him.

Since he was not prepared to play their games, they
asked for his papers and having combed through
everything without any offence with which to nail the
'stubborn' pastor, they now asked him to open the
bonnet of his car.

A careful scrutiny of the engine number against what
was on paper revealed that the letter 'U' was written
in such a way that it could be mistaken for letter
'V'.

That was all the officer-in-charge needed to shout
"stolen vehicle"!

Sensing trouble, even when he knew he committed no
offense, the pastor called the OC to say he was a
priest to which the officer replied:

"Please, leave that pastor thing, in any case, if you
are indeed a pastor, then you must have a Bible in
your car abi?, bring it."

The Pastor did as was commanded after which the
officer now ordered: "Please read Matthew 5:25, 26 to
me".

The incredulous Pastor opened to the recommended
passage and read:

"Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is
taking you to court. Do it while you are still with
him on the way, or he may hand you over to a judge,
and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and
you may be thrown into prison. I tell you the truth;
you will not get out until you have paid the last
penny."
