Just a little humor
Someone sent this to me, and I thought you all would get a kick out of it:
Toronto Globe & Mail March 30, 2004: In most of the Canadian
Provinces, there is a policy of checking on any stalled vehicle
on the highway when the temperatures drop in the single digits
or below. One morning in March 2004 about 3AM RCMP Constable
Bill Wisen was awakened to respond to such a call of a car off
the shoulder on the Trans Canada Highway outside of Medicine
Hat, Alberta. Constable Wisen located the car still running,
stuck in deep snow alongside the highway. Pulling in behind it
with his emergency lights on, Constable Wisen walked to the
driver's door to find an older man passed out behind the wheel
and a near empty bottle of vodka in the seat. He tapped on the
window and the driver woke up, seeing the rotating lights in
his rear view mirror and the RCMP Constable standing next to
his car. The man panicked, and he jerked the gearshift into
drive and hit the gas. The car's speedometer was showing 20-30-
40 then 50 KPH, but its still stuck in the snow.
Constable Wisen , having a sense of humor, began running in
place next to the speeding but still stationary car. The driver
was totally freaked thinking the officer is actually keeping up
with him. This goes on for about 20 seconds when Constable
Wisen yelled at the man ordering him to "pull over". This man
obeyed and turned his wheel and stopped the engine. Once out of
the car the drunken driver asked about the RCMPs' special
training and just how can the Constable run 50 KPH. The man,
Mr. Robert Duport of Medicine Hat was arrested still believing
that an RCMP Constable had outrun his car.
