While riding my Harley, I swerved to to avoid hitting a deer, lost con- trol and landed in a ditch, severely banging my head.
Dazed and con- fused I crawled out of the ditch to the edge of the road when a shiny new con- vertible pulled up with a very beau- tiful woman who asked, "Are you okay?As I looked up, I noticed she was wearing a low-cut blouse with cleavage to die for..."I'm okay I think, " I replied as I pulled myself up to the side of the car to get a closer look.
She said, "Get in and I'll take you home, so I can clean and band- age that nasty scrape on your head."
"That's nice of you," I answered, "but I don't think my wife will like me doing that!"
"Oh, come now, I'm a nurse," she insisted. "I need to see if you have any more scrapes and then treat them properly." Well, she was
really pretty and very persuasive. Being sort of shaken and weak, I agreed, but repeated,
"I'm sure my wife won't like this."
We arrived at her place which was just few miles away and, after a couple of cold beers and the bandaging, I thanked her and said, "I feel a lot better, but I know my wife is going to be really upset so I'd better go now ." Don't be silly!" she said with a smile. "Stay for a while.
She won't know anything. By the way, where is she?"
"Still in the ditch, I guess!"
A man was walk- ing to work when he was approached by a dirty and scruffy- looking homeless man who asked him for a couple of bucks for din- ner.
The man pulled out his wallet, and took out ten dol- lars, and asked:
"Here’s my
money. Will you buy some beer with it?"
"No, I stopped drinking years ago," the home- less man replied.
"Will you spend this on green fees at a golf course instead of food?" the man asked.
"Are you INSANE?!" snapped the homeless man. "I haven't played golf in 20 years!"
"Well," said the man, "I'm not giv- ing you a dime. Instead, I'm taking take you home for a shower and a wonderful dinner cooked by my wife."
The homeless man was stunned.
"Won't your wife be mad as hell with you for doing that??
The man answered:
"That's OK. She needs to see what a man looks like after he quits drinking and play- ing golf."
State Trooper From Poland Helps Ex Polish President Change Tire
By Simon Druker
May 12 (UPI) -
- A state trooper originally from Poland was sent to help change a flat tire Wednesday, and ended up meet- ing former Polish President Lech Walesa, Connecticut State Police shared on Facebook.
Trooper Lukasz Lipert was called to I-84 in Tolland, Conn., to assist with a flat tire, and was greeted by the Nobel Peace Prize lau- reate.
In 1990, Walesa became that country's first freely elected president in 63 years, following World War II and decades of com- munist rule.
Walesa, 78, was in the Constitution State promoting the cause of Ukrainian refugees who have been
forced out of their country and now call Poland home. He
also met with Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont.
"Trooper Lipert, a native of Poland, was beyond grateful for the opportuni- ty to help such an influential individual, and briefly speak to him about the history of Poland," the Facebook post- ing reads.
Walesa also posed with the trooper for a photo.
When he first got the call over the radio, Lipert said he thought his
fellow officers were playing a joke.
"What are the odds there's going to be a for- mer Polish presi- dent on the side of 84 in
Tolland," Lipert told the Hartford Courant.
But after arriving at the scene, he quickly realized it was no prank.
"It was definitely a great opportu- nity to meet the man who had a voice during those times," Lipert told the newspaper.
"It was definitely a great experi- ence."
