Tell her it's an ancient Hawaiian salutation...

I found this by accident just now, but was looking for it earlier.

The wife of a Southern Baptist preacher talks to her Sunday school class about a wonderful religious experience that she had last week:

The other day I went up to the local Christian book store where I saw a "Honk if you love Jesus" bumper sticker. I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance at Church, so I bought the bumper sticker and put it on the back bumper of my car. And I am really glad that I did, too. What an uplifting experience followed.

I was stopped at the light of a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord, and I did not notice that the light had changed. It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus or I may never have noticed that the light had changed. But then I found that a lot of people love Jesus, too. Why, the guy behind me started to honk like crazy and then he leaned out his window and screamed "For the love of GOD, Go!....Go!

Everyone was honking also, so I leaned out my window and waved and smiled to all those loving people and I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love. There must have been a man from Florida back there because I could hear him yelling something about a sunny beach.

I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. When I asked my teenage son in the back seat what this meant, he replied "It is nothing, probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something." Well, I have never even met a person from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back. My son burst into laughter, why, even he was enjoying the love of this religious experience.

A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and were walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what Church I attended, but when I noticed that the light had changed, I waved one more time to my loving brothers and sisters and drove through the intersection.

I was the only car that got across the intersection before the light changed again and I felt kind of bad that I had to leave them and all that love that we had shared so I slowed the car down, leaned out of the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one more time as I drove away.

Praise the LORD for such wonderful folks.!

The Jews don't recognize Christ as the Savior.
The Protestants don't recognize the Pope as the head of the Church.
The Baptists don't recognize each other at the liquor store.

When our daughter was about 5 years old, we were driving in Oklahoma (with our Texas license plates) - I noticed Erin was turned around in her car seat (booster seat - no one scream at me for babying her)....... I looked back and she was turned completely around, facing the back of the van, with her finger stuck straight up flipping off the car traveling behind us! I yelled at her to sit down...... the car passed us and they all looked over, laughing their butts off...... my Marine had the worst look on his face.......lol
