Oklahoma State Trooper ....

In most of the United States, there is a policy of checking on any
stalled vehicle on the highway when the temperatures drop down to single
digits or below.

About 3 AM, one very cold morning, Trooper Allan Nixon #658 responded to
a call there was a car off the shoulder of the road outside Shattuck .
He located the car, stuck in deep snow, and with the engine still
running. Pulling in behind the car with his emergency lights on, the
Trooper walked to the driver's door to find an older man passed out
behind the wheel with a nearly empty vodka bottle on the seat beside
him.

The driver came awake when the Trooper tapped on the window.
Seeing the rotating lights in his rearview mirror, and the State
Trooper standing next to his car, the man panicked.

He jerked the gearshift into 'drive' and hit the gas. The car's
speedometer was showing 20-30-40 and then 50 mph, but it was still stuck
in the snow, wheels spinning.

Trooper Nixon, having a sense of humor, began running in place
next to the speeding, but still stationary car. The driver was
totally freaked, thinking the Trooper was actually keeping up
with him. This goes on for about 30 seconds, then the Trooper
yelled, "Pull over!"

The man obeyed, turned his wheel and stopped the engine.
Needless to say, the man from Dumas, Texas was arrested,
and is probably still shaking his head over the State Trooper
in Oklahoma who could run 50 miles per hour.

Who says Trooper's don't have a sense of humor?
