Driving to work, a gentleman had to swerve to avoid a box that fell out of a truck in front of him. Seconds later, a policeman pulled him over for reckless driving. Fortunately, another officer had seen the carton in the road. The policemen stopped traffic and recovered the box. It was found to contain large upholstery tacks.
"I'm sorry sir," the first trooper told the driver, "but I am still going to have to write you a ticket."
Amazed, the driver asked for what.
The trooper replied, "Tacks evasion."
Groan!, Now to fwd to a few cop friends.
Must admit I giggled. Thanks.
My true story.
Box fell off a truck in front of me on the LA freeway.
I was quickly slowing down as there was plenty of distance between me and the box.
Then BAM!
I was rear ended by a BIG truck from the Dept of Water and Power LA.
Knocked me from lane three into lane two turning me sideways.
BAM!
A lumber truck nailed me on the passenger side. Sending me across lane one up the side slope.
Ohhhhh my back was aching.
He's Dead! He's Dead! Bang! Bang! Bang! This black kid was screaming trying to get me out banging the door.
Ambulance to a hospital. Full exrays and doctors probing every part of my body.
No cuts, no bruises, no broken bones.
One hour later I check out of the hospital, an employee to me back to the office, then home.
My car was completely TOTALED.
The DWP called my wife to see if I was ok. I never called her until I got home.
Yes, she was very upset and glad I was safe.
