Irene, the town gossip, and self-appointed monitor of the local church’s morals kept sticking her nose into other people’s business. Several members did not approve of her extracurricular 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 ute parked in front of the town’s only bar one afternoon. She told George, and several others, that everyone seeing it there would know exactly what he was doing.
George, a man of few words, stared at her for a few moments and just turned and walked away. He didn’t explain, defend or deny! He said nothing!
Later that evening, George quietly parked his ute in front of Irene’s house …. walked home …. and left it there all night.
You’ve gotta love George!
