I had a flat tire on I-45 yesterday; so, I pulled over, got
out of the car and opened my trunk.
I took out my cardboard men, unfolded them and stood
them at the rear of my car facing oncoming traffic. They
look so lifelike you wouldn't believe it!
Just as I had hoped, cars started slowing down looking at
the men which made it much safer for me to work on
the side of the road.
People honked and waved, and it wasn't long before a
police car pulled up behind me.
He wanted to know what the heck I was doing, so I calmly
explained that I was changing my flat. he told me he could
see that, but demanded to know what the Hell my cardboard
men were doing standing at the rear of my car.
I couldn't believe he didn't know! Well, I explained
to the angry Policeman...
They're my
Emergency Flashers!!!I go to court in April.
Darn Police. No sense of humor!
