oh orem!
Mar 28, 2009 Author: Rhonda | Filed under: Ping.fmoh man, I just got (kindly) pulled over for the most awesome and hilarious thing! so I am doing my route, and I see tons of cops all over the place. bear in mind that my route is pretty close to the city center, very suburban condo chic…
anyhow, I thought this cop was following me, cuz he kept ducking into the same cul de sacs as me. after 3 or 4, he stops by my car and rolls down his window. so I cheerfully greet him, to be answered by this odd request: We are trying to catch a loose cow. if you see it, can you please try to box it in, or else follow it, then call us immediately?
lolol a COW lost in my paper route, an area totally not zoned for livestock. I didn’t see it, but I am betting they got it, because as I was heading home, I saw 3 squad cars heading back to the station.
oh yeah, and my favorite dj does a bit called “what are you doing up at this hour of the morning” - he had already done it the previous hour, but I just had to tell someone, and I knew he was there - well, he thought it was hilarious and put me on the radio, to explain my paper delivering/cow herding experience.
now I want hamburgers…

A missing… COW? Okay, I’ve heard of one-cow towns, but one-cow-MISSING towns?
Hahahha,
That is better than what I got pulled over for, while heded out to start my route. My headlight was out. Which I knew, and the dealership isn’t open on Sundays, and we’ve tried replacing it ourselves but it is very difficult to get into and required a crowbar the last time, so we just take it into the dealership. Ramble, ramble. I of course got pulled over Monday morning, I was planning on taking it in after my route, and as soon as the dealership was open. Funny part was, when he asked if I knew it was out I answered ‘Yes.’ and when he asked how I knew it was out, I looked at him like he was nuts. (He had already commented about my delivering the paper, as they were stacked, folded, in the laundry basket on the passenger seat.) and commented “I deliver the paper and I am constantly getting in and out of the car.” He kind of blinked and let me go with a warning to get it fixed that day.
The lost cow made me smile. I can totally picture that in our little 20,000 people town, surrounded by rolling fields. The radio show call in was the topper.
