      TID: PX/Win v3.0pr5 PX96-0466M2       MSGID: 1:123/140 6557a913       TZUTC: -0500        Daryl wrote to Mike --              > I've been watching YouTube vidoes of emergency vehicles (police, fire,       ambulance) responding to emergency calls. It's shocking how many drivers will       just SIT THERE, and NOT move to the right to get out of the way.               I see that all the time.        The worst are drivers at red lights who can move out of the way (no       cross traffic) but wait for the light to turn green before they move.        I always think what would they think if if were a loved one of theirs was       in the ambulance, their house burning down, etc and some idiot just sat       there blocking them.              > Another case had a guy get a blow up doll in the passenger seat, so it       would look like he had a passenger in the car               When I was in parking I was walking by a fire lane. Now if someone were       in the car, of age, who could move it.         (This was at the student centre and people liked to park there to run       inside "for a minute").        I noticed the passenger never moved and thought that strange and walking       past the car saw it was a blow up doll, with a wig and hat on it.        I started laughing so hard I could hardly write the ticket. :)        I only wish I had a camera phone at the time.        One time I was inside the student centre talking with some people and a       woman parked there and walked away.        As she was going into the building I was walking out another door       writing the ticket.         I was back inside a minute later and talking again when the fire marshal       drove by, stopped and wrote her another ticket and put it on the window.        It was several minutes before she came out and looked at the two tickets       with a puzzled look on her face. :)        Meanwhile we inside were laughing ourselves silly.        Joe       --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5        * Origin: Fido Since 1991 | QWK by Web | BBS.FIDOSYSOP.ORG (1:123/140)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 123 15/0 16/0 18/200 19/10 36 90/1 105/81 106/201 116/18       SEEN-BY: 120/302 340 123/130 131 140 153/7715 203/0 218/700 221/0       SEEN-BY: 221/1 6 360 222/2 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 424 426 452       SEEN-BY: 229/664 981 1016 1017 230/150 152 240/1120 5832 249/206 307       SEEN-BY: 249/317 400 250/1 261/38 100 1466 266/512 267/155 275/100       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 282/1031 1056 291/100 111 292/854 317/3 320/119       SEEN-BY: 320/219 319 322/0 757 340/400 341/66 342/200 396/45 423/81       SEEN-BY: 633/0 267 280 281 384 412 640/1138 1321 1384 712/848 801/161       SEEN-BY: 801/189 2320/105 3634/12 5020/1042       PATH: 123/140 261/38 320/219 221/1 640/1384 633/280 229/426           |
