Frozen Carburetor
Posted by: JesterIt was a bitterly cold winter’s day in Alaska when a highway patrol officer on patrol came across a motorcyclist stalled by the roadside. The cyclist was swathed in protective clothing and helmet.
“What’s the matter?” asked the policeman.
“Carburetor’s frozen,” was the terse reply.
“Pee on it. That’ll thaw it out.”
“Can’t.” said the cyclist.
“OK, Watch me and I will show you.”
The officer did as promised. The bike started and the rider drove off, waving.
A few days later, the highway patrol office received a note of thanks from the father of the motorbike rider.
It began: “On behalf of my daughter, who recently was stranded ….”
