How to stop GOSSIP

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 Frank, a new member, of being an alcoholic after she saw his old pickup parked in front of the town's only bar one after noon. .
She emphatically told Frank (and several others) that every one seeing it there
WOULD KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING !
Frank , 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, Frank quietly parked his pickup in front of Mildred's house ...walked home
. . .and left it there all night !!!
