Montana State Trooper
>
> In most of the United States there is a policy of checking on any stalled vehicle on the highway when temperatures drop to single digits or below. About 3:00 one very cold morning, Montana State Trooper Allan Nixon responded to a call about a car that was off the shoulder of the road outside Great Falls, Montana. 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 woke up 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 stationary) car. The driver
totally freaked out, thinking the trooper was actually
keeping up with him. This went on for about 30 seconds, and
then the trooper yelled, "PULL OVER!"
The man nodded, turned his wheel, and stopped the engine.
Needless to say, the man from North Dakota was arrested and
is probably still shaking his head over the state trooper in Montana who could run 50 miles per hour.
Who says troopers don't have a sense of humor?

When a car is stuck in mud or snow, even if it is in drive and not moving, the wheels will spin but the speedometer will show 0 MPH.

sorry - trinity

I did not realize that funnies actually had to be true. I will not post any more.

Thank you for letting me know.

I'm sorry I liked your post. I guess I don't matter. - nm

I actually smiled! I thought it was good, and I really do not understand anyone criticising a "joke." No wonder nobody posts anything on this board except droll VR "funnies," which are not "funny" at all.
thank you OP for posting this. please continue to post and do not allow the "criticizer" to bring you down. we all NEED a sense of humor. Apparently some have forgotten even that. :-)

me three! - keep 'em coming

Ignore criticism. Funny story. I laughed. - anon

Ignore whoever criticized. Don't get why people have to be such jerks. Trying to look highly intelligent and just looking like a "donkey-type animal". Have hardly ever seen a joke that was true or possible (this is why they are jokes and funny). Hope you can give us some more where that one came from.
