Funny email I received:

In most of the United States, there is a policy of checking on

any stalled vehicle on the highway when the temperatures drop

down to single digits or below.



About 3 AM, one very cold morning, Trooper Allan Nixon #658

responded to a call there was a car off the shoulder of the road

outside Shattuck . 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 Trooper 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 Trooper tapped on the window.

Seeing the rotating lights in his rearview mirror, and the State

Trooper standing next to his car, the man panicked.



He jerked the gearshift into 'drive' and hit the gas. The car's

speedometer was showing 20-30-40 and then 50 mph, but it was

still stuck in the snow, wheels spinning.



Trooper Nixon, having a sense of humor, began running in place

next to the speeding, but still stationary car. The driver was

totally freaked, thinking the Trooper was actually keeping up

with him. This goes on for about 30 seconds, then the Trooper

yelled, "Pull over!"



The man obeyed, turned his wheel and stopped the engine. Needless

to say, the man from Dumas, Texas was arrested, and is probably still

shaking his head over the State Trooper in Oklahoma who could run 50

miles per hour.



Who says Trooper's don't have a sense of humor?
