Funny story.....

Last nite I had to go return a couple of movies, so after that I was driving around letting my truck warm up. I turned down 34th street and saw 2 cop cars sitting on a side street, and one looked like it was on the walking path. As I drove by I thought "Is that one stuck on the walking path?" So I turned around and sure enough it was. So me, being the nice guy that I am, stopped and offered a pull. He thought he could get out without it, so I helped the other cop push on the front. After about 15 mins, and 15,000 miles off the life of the car, we got it out. So now I figure the cops owe me a get out of jail free card, right??

I have absolutely no idea how he did this. If he slid around a corner too much or somethin, beats me.

I bet you that cop was real embarraced. If you cant get the get out off jail thing I would settle on a break on a ticket.

he didn't even seem overly grateful, not as much as the other one who was helping push at least. Problem is, I don't think I could remember the one who was stuck, but the other one I could.

Whatever happened to helping out for the sake of doing something to benefit another person? I love giving people a hand on the road. Anytime someone has offered me $ for helping to change a tire, etc. I tell them to donate it to charity. I didn't help for the money, I helped because they needed help!

Ive pulled out a few cops that were stuck in the mud and ive also helped during a high speed chase and created a road block with a few other trucksers on the bridge so he could not get around. I never asked for nothing but i did gain some friends that now wheel with me.

In the financial situation I am in, I can't hardly afford to turn the money down, but it isn't the reason I help out, and I don't always get money for it, but I would do it all the same if I knew they would only be personally grateful. If more would just help without plans for return, other than getting help when they need it, the world would go much better. I usually tell them when they ask me what I want for helping, I just tell them do it for someone else.

I never helped out expecting something in return, except some gratitude, of which I got very little from the officer who was in the jam. The other officer was thankful, though. It's just with the rap law officials have, you'd think that they would be more thankful when someone (read me) goes out of their way to help out.
