True And Amusing Anecdotes

Hello

Bizarre or funny things that really have happened!

VANCOUVERITES are by tradition terrible drivers when snow falls. During one particularly heavy storm, a reporter asked a man if he thought Vancouver drivers knew how to handle their cars in snowy conditions. "Of course," he replied, "We know how to drive in the snow, we just don't know how to stop."

True And Amusing Anecdotes

Hello

Bizarre or funny things that really have happened!

FEARFUL of being late for work, the young woman took time to scrape only a small clearing in the front and side windows of her car before driving to the office on the cold winter morning. A short distance down the highway she signaled a turn into the next lane of traffic. The blaring of a horn and the sudden appearance of a vehicle in her side mirror made her realize that she'd cut in front of a car and, had it not been for the driver's quick reaction, there could have been a bad accident. At the next intersection she and the driver of the other car stopped side by side. She kept her eyes downcast and prayed the light would quickly turn green. Her heart began pounding when, hearing a door slam, she glanced sideways and saw the driver coming around his car. Then, through her rear-view mirror and in total mortification, she watched him quickly and efficiently clear her entire rear window of all frost and snow. He then returned to his car and drove away as the traffic light turned green.

True And Amusing Anecdotes

Hello

Bizarre or funny things that really have happened!

THOUGH Aunt Clara never learned to drive, she served as Aunt Hattie's faithful copilot. In a car almost as old as they were, they rode over curbs, swerved into ditches and rode against traffic on one-way streets, heedless of horns, unobserved by police. When the years overdue traffic offense citation was finally presented, Aunt Clara scooted across the seat, reached around Aunt Hattie and signaled for the ticket. "Don't give it to her," Aunt Clara said to the police officer. "She can't see. I told her to go through the light."

True And Amusing Anecdotes

Hello

Bizarre or funny things that really have happened!

IN THE spring, the Alaska Highway, a gravel road, begins to thaw. Usually the road center becomes bare first. One spring while traveling to Whitehorse I noticed in the distance a car on the shoulder of the road, apparently stuck. As I approached, a woman appeared with a shovel and began digging in the center of the road. As I stopped she threw some gravel under the front wheels of her large car. I asked, "Don't you think you should have put the dirt under the back wheels?" "Hell, no, " she replied. "I've already got those going."
