This is Wyoming State Patrol Humor....And it's funny..
POLICE HUMOR - WYOMING STATE POLICE - GOTTA LOVE 'EM!!!!!
IN MOST OF THE NORTHERN STATES, THERE IS A POLICY OF CHECKING ON
ANY STALLED VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE TEMPERATURES DROP
DOWN TO THE SINGLE DIGITS OR BELOW.
ABOUT 3 A.M. ONE VERY COLD MORNING IN MARCH 2004, A STATE POLICE
OFFICER RESPONDED TO A CALL: THERE WAS A CAR OFF THE SHOULDER OF THE
ROAD ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF CASPER. HE LOCATED THE CAR, STUCK IN DEEP SNOW
AND WITH THE ENGINE STILL RUNNING.
PULLING IN BEHIND THE CAR WITH HIS EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON, THE OFFICER
WALKED TO THE DRIVER'S DOOR TO FIND AN OLDER MAN PASSED OUT BEHIND THE
WHEEL WITH A NEARLY EMPTY VODKA BOTTLE ON THE SEAT BESIDE HIM.
THE DRIVER CAME AWAKE WHEN THE OFFICER TAPPED ON THE WINDOW.
SEEING THE ROTATING LIGHTS IN HIS REAR VIEW MIRROR AND THE STATE
POLICEMAND STANDING NEXT TO HIS CAR, THE MAN PANICKED, JERKED THE
GEARSHIFT INTO "DRIVE" AND HIT THE GAS. THE CAR'S SPEEDOMOTER WAS
SHOWING 20-30-40 AND THEN 50 MPH, BUT IT WAS STILL STUCK IN THE SNOW,
WHEELS SPINNING.
THE POLICEMAN, 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 WAS ACTUALLY
KEEPING UP WITH HIM.
THIS GOES ON FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS WHEN THE PATROLMAN YELLED AT
THE MAN ORDERING HIM TO "PULL OVER!" THE MAN OBEYED, TURNED HIS
WHEEL AND STOPPED THE ENGINE.
NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE MAN FROM CASPER WAS ARRESTED AND IS PROBABLY
STILL SHAKING HIS HEAD OVER THE STATE PATROLMAN WHO COULD RUN 50 MILES
PER HOUR.
..
WHO SAYS POLICEMAN DON'T HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR?
