Powerful Penguin Prevents Police AND Pile-ups

Proof Positive that Penguins Prevent Poorly Planned and Potentially Pissy Posibilities.

On my ride home from work, I was traveling my usual 75 plus miles per hour when I realized that I was passing a policeperson, quietly poised in the center median place.

I quietly muttered "Oh Shit" as I took my foot off of the gas, but not wanting to be obvious by placing my foot on the brake. I began countig as I watched the pig in the rear view mirror.

1...2...3...

He turned off his parking lights

5...6...

He turned on his headlights

8...9...

He pulled out into my lane

11...12...

He turned on those happy blue and red lights. I immediately put on my turn signal, and eased into the right lane, then the shoulder, where I came to a stop, went through the mental checklist

(yes, I have my license, registration, insurance, and seatbelt.)

I turned off the radio and checked the mirror again. I did have an eight second head start, I expected him to be back there a ways, maybe I'd get bonus points for pulling over without a chase.

Boy, he seems to be way back there still.

Waiting... waiting...

Hey, isn't that another car in front of his?

Did he pull over someone else?

Thank you Madison!!!
