Thanks guys, sometimes I need a little laugh to cheer me up!!
I’ve been working in traffic lately and it’s been a real eye opener, let me tell you I definately have learnt a few things....
Just yesterday I spotted a woman driving and knitting at the same time. Driving up beside her, I shouted out the window... "Pull over!"
"No," she shouts back, "a pair of socks!"
Just a little while later further up the freeway.. A Victorian car breaks down right there along the freeway, so the driver eases it over onto the side of the road. He jumps out of the car, opens the boot, and pulls out two men in trench coats.
The men stand behind the car, open up their coats and start exposing themselves to the oncoming traffic. This results in one of the worst pile-ups in recent history.
It took us hours to sort it out.... Finally when questioned by us about why he put two deviates along the side of the road, the man replied, "I broke down and was just using my emergency flashers!"
That was pretty much the last straw....I’ve been shocked sometimes by traffics way of doing things.....just last week I heard that two WA coppers were chasing a Holden east on the highway towards the SA Border. When the suspect crossed the border into SA, the police driver slammed on the brakes and in a cloud of smoke and to the sqealing of tyres he pulled over quickly.
The other Police officer asked, "Hey, sarge, why did you stop?"
The sarge replied, "He's in SA now. They're an hour and a half ahead of us, so we'll never catch him."
One of our traffic cops used to be a state trooper in the US... he told me how one cutting edge aquarium saved a lot of money when its owner discovered a means to make the dolphins live forever -- since the dolphins never died, no money needed to be spent on buying new ones.
Extending the dolphins' lives required putting a special mixture into their food; one of the ingredients was baby sea gull meat. So one day, one of the workers was sent to the beach to find some. He cut through a safari park and to play it safe shot a lion with a tranquiliser dart on his way there. On the way back, baby sea gulls in hand, he had to pass through the safari park again. In the middle of the path was a sleeping lion. He very carefully stepped over it, only to be handcuffed by this policeman.
"Officer," he said, "what's going on?"
"You're under arrest," said our policeman.
"But why?" he asked.
The policeman replied, "For transporting young gulls across sedate lions for immortal porpoises."
Anyway whilst working with these blokes a male driver gets stopped by them, and is asked by Murphy: "Have you been drinking?"
The man replies: "Okay, yes, I have... how did you know officer? Was I swerving across the road, or speeding?"
"No sir," replied Murphy , "...nothing else can explain that fat ugly woman sitting next to you."
The final straw was today when a priest gets pulled over for speeding.
We saw an empty wine bottle in his car and smelt alcohol on his breath. "Father, have you been drinking?" I asked.
"Only water, my son." replies the priest.
"Why then do I smell wine?" I questioned.
The priest, looking at the wine bottle, replies, "Oh my Lord, He's gone and done it again!"
cheers!
