Do you ever see a string of words which, taken one by one, each make sense, but as a whole are very tough to comprehend? That's what happened to me when I saw the following words:
"Speeding driver blames lack of goats." I decided to investigate further (okay, I didn't really "investigate"--I just read the damn article):
A Swiss driver caught speeding in Canada explained that he had been taking advantage of the ability to drive fast without hitting a goat, police said on Wednesday.
Airtight logic there, basing your speed on what you're
not going to hit. Anyway, here are some more odd words:
"A motorist from Switzerland, used to driving around hills and mountains, takes advantage of the ability to go faster without risking hitting a goat," read the traffic officer's notes of the incident.
Who is this traffic officer? Yoda?
"I've never been to Switzerland but obviously they must have a problem with that there," said police spokesman Joel Doiron, adding that in his 20 years of service he had never found a goat on the highways of eastern Ontario.
It doesn't sound like they have a "problem" to me. Sounds like they have the
solution. Want to cut down on speeders on Ontario highways? You need some goats out on those roads.
And to think, the ingrates actually fined him!
