Auto anecdotes : mule kicks car over Pal's death!

Description: page 19 In: Rotary Club of Manila. The Rotary Balita No. 749 to 774Summary: Near Shelby, N. C., two mules were wandering along the highway. Suddenly an automobile struck and killed one. Another automobile stopped to give help. The second mule backed up to it, raised his hind legs and let go, smashing the car door. *** An oncoming car cut in front of a Nebraska state trooper's car to make a turn without signaling. The trooper followed the car and curbed it near Omaha. "Didn't you see me when you made that turn?" he asked. The elderly man driving the car replied: "No. I don't see very well anymore. I do the driving, but Ma here tells me when to turn." *** After pleading guilty to a drunk driving charge in Detroit Traffic Court recently, Frank Serafinski was told by a prosecutor: "You appreciate that by pleading guilty you may go to jail and lose your driving privilege?" "I understand what you mean," Mr. Serafinski replied. "But don't think for a minute that I appreciate it." *** When he appeared in an Asheville, N. C., traffic court on two counts of being drunk in public, one Friday night, one Saturday, the defendant protested: "I was drunk Friday all right, your honor, but Saturday - that was the same drunk." *** In Detroit, a woman won a suspended sentence in traffic court on charges that police had to tow away her automobile that was blocking a driveway, after she told a judge: "You know as well as I do, your honor, that to tow a car means to pull it. And they pushed me. That's not towing."
