I had a flat tire on the 401 yesterday; so, I pulled over, got out of the car and

opened my trunk.  I took out my cardboard men, unfolded them and stood them
at the rear of my car facing oncoming traffic. They look so lifelike you wouldn't
believe it!

Just as I had hoped, cars started slowing down looking at the men which made
it much safer for me to work on the side of the road.  People honked and waved,
and it wasn't long before an OPP car pulled up behind me.  He wanted to know
what the heck I was doing.  So, I calmly explained that I was changing my flat.

He told me he could see that, but demanded to know what the heck my cardboard
men were doing standing at the rear of my car. I couldn't believe he didn't know!
So I told the officer, “They're my Emergency Flashers!!”

 

I go to court in August. Damn police have no sense of humour.
