Default Arresting officer

Guys,

it happened to me twice in the last year.

I was driving along at Warp speed in my 1945 Ford GPW when i saw the lights in the sky.

Question : Was i going too fast officer ?

Answer : Oh no.

Are my convoy lights too bright ?

Answer : Oh no .

Question : Then what is it ?

Answer : Were are your doors ?

Young cops that had never seen a WW2 Jeep before.

I added : Have you ever seen a truck started with a handcrank ?

I proceeded then and there with the demonstration to the amazment of all concerned .

Cheerio !

Frank: Was that just outside of Saskatoon that you guys were stopped? I passed you guys with a DND wrecker that day coming back from Dundurn.

I remember we were north of Regina , we got in the night before and the temp dropped like a stone , I was worried about start up that morning , we went north then the snow started and I froze my ass off , then the RCMP Mustang pulled us over , thank god , he thought we were Mohawks from Oka going to a blockade north of Saskatoon , ooh aah , the wind was going through my CF parka, put my rain gear on then I started to get warm , dam it were are the arctic mitts , it was colder there than it was in the Yukon, it didn't seem to matter what direction we were going the wind was always a cross wind , so strong I was worried it would bust my inner windshield, then when we stopped I had a hard time standing still, like coming off a sailboat, the other cop was in Michigan I think,

That was the nice thing about living in the bottlenecks of Saskatchewan and now Manitoba. There are only two highways through, so I don't miss much in cross country movement.
