People often complain about the police, but you rarely hear about the positive things they do, such as this incident involving a biker and a frozen carburetor.
Last January on a bitterly cold winter's day, a North Dakota State Trooper on patrol came upon a motorcyclist who was stalled by the roadside. The biker was swathed in heavy protective clothing and wearing a full-face helmet to protect the face from the cold weather.
âWhatâs the matter? asked the Trooper
"Carburetor's frozen," was the terse reply.
"Pee on it. That'll thaw it out."
"I can't," said the biker.
"OK, watch me closely and I'll show you." The Trooper unzipped and promptly warmed the carburetor as promised.
Moments later the bike started and the rider drove off, waving.
A few days later, the local State Troopersâ office received a note of thanks from the father of the motorcyclist.
It began: "On behalf of my daughter Jill..."

Hi Linda! Guess who (hehe).
Good joke. I'd have finished with a headline next morning 'State Trooper Charged With Indecency'.
By the way, carburetors don't freeze, there's no water, just gas and air. Even in Antarctica, we never had a fuel problem caused by cold weather. Now diesel, that's another story...

Why can't people just accept a joke for being what it is...a joke. There is no need to dissect and analyze them.

I don't know. Why is it that I say 'good joke' and I get a comment like that? And while you're at it, why is belly-button fluff always blue?
