WTF Link of the Day:

Posted by xJane on December 2nd, 2007 at 9:22 am · 3 Comments

Proselytizing deputies in North Carolina have “Jesus is your Savior” sign in the back seat of their patrol car. Allegedly,

the sheriff’s office doesn’t have a formal policy on what personal effects deputies are allowed to keep in their patrol cars, but he supports deputies displaying anything that gives them comfort for 12-hour shifts on a dangerous job

And while I’m sure such comfort is useful (insert traditional no-atheists-in-foxholes comment here), I’ve just one question: How often is this deputy in the back seat of his own vehicle?! Because if he’s not back there? The sign’s placement is not designed for him.

Incidentally, I also don’t think it belongs in the front, but I’m responding to their argument.
