DYEVOUT 0 #1 February 20, 2003 Already Cooked. . . . . . . Service call of the month from a Baltimore Gas & Electric residential customer .. BGE received a call from a customer saying: "My power is out. When you come to fix it be sure to bring a truck with a tall enough bucket to remove the deer". The customer service rep prudently trying to gather helpful information to help diagnose the problem asked, "What deer"? The customer replied " There is a deer on top of one of the electric poles on Wilkes Rd about 1/2 mile west of perimeter Rd". The customer service rep tried desperately to pull herself together and not laugh in front of the customer and replied" We will dispatch someone right away to investigate the power outage. Thank you for the call". Upon completion of the call, the customer service rep proceeded to share the funny story with her coworkers in the office and they all had a good laugh. Well, low and behold, the serviceman who repaired the problem stopped by the customer service office the following day with the attached pictures. Sure enough, the poor deer had been hit by a train & landed on top of a distribution feeder pole! ----------------=8^)---------------------- "I think that was the wrong tennis court."

AggieDave 6 #6 February 20, 2003 With a little A-1 sauce you could eat anything. Shit, you could boil an old boot, cut it up and serve it with A-1 and it'd taste ok...--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Cornholio 0 #8 February 20, 2003 Where the fuck are it's legs ?? Did the train chop off the legs and then deposit it on the pole ? Oh deer.... Poor deer... Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast!

billvon 2,426 #9 February 20, 2003 >Where the fuck are it's legs ?? Note the proximity of its legs to the wire on the lower crossbeam. It wouldn't suprise me if an arc started and kept up until its legs got too short. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Push 0 #11 February 20, 2003 Looks like a new air accuracy sport. Deer bombing. Must have been a student -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

flyingferret 0 #12 February 20, 2003 Yeah...I would guess the legs are adhered to the train or laying away from the track in the direction of travel.-- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sebazz1 2 #17 February 20, 2003 Dear Deers, I am looking looking for a few good deer looking for employment to try out for an opening for the annual Christmas sleigh hauling every December 25. All interested deer can apply in person at the North Pole. Regards, Old St. Nick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
