"Bus"
One snowy Saturday, Jerry was having a
coffee with his friend Matt, a city bus driver.
"What's new at transit, Matt?"
"I got a commendation the other day."
"Congratulations. What did you do?" Jerry
asked.
"Well, Tuesday, just after the start of my first
run of the day, a drunk got on the bus and fell
asleep. After watching people avoid the seats
near the drunk for one and a half loops of my
run, I finally took the man and dragged him off
the bus."
Jerry was shocked. "You got a commendation
for throwing a poor drunk off the bus and into
a snow bank?"
"No, no." Matt replied. "On my next run, I noticed
the drunk was still lying in the snow so I dragged
him back into the warmth of the bus. Someone
saw me do that and phoned it in."

"Antifreeze"
An RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) officer
stopped to help a stranded rider standing beside a
stalled motorcycle in the mountains. It was
extremely cold, and the rider was heavily dressed
in a helmet, balaclave and snowmobile suit. In a
muffled voice, the rider told the Mountie that the
carburetor was frozen.
"Well, pee on it," the Mountie said.
"Can't," replied the rider.
The helpful Mountie took out his own equipment
and liberally hosed down the carburetor, and the
bike soon fired up.
A few days later, the local department received
a thank you note from a father, grateful for the
roadside assistance his young daughter had
received from the RCMP.
