A bad day

True Story: FRIDAY: A fellow gets of work at 1 AM. The freeway was jammed so he took the highway home. As he drove his pickup home, he heard a thump and stopped his truck to see what he hit. He heard and saw nothing so he drove the 15 miles home. He called 911 and told them he hit something and he asked them to send police to see if anything could be found.

Saturday - He hears nothing.

Sunday: He calls the state police to ask if they knew anything about the noise he heard. They said they will call him if they have anything to report. He is watching the local Sunday News and they show a man in the hospital who said he got hit on a highway Saturday 2 AM. He said he was drunk and standing in the middle in the middle of the road.

The fellow calls the state police and he tells them what he saw on the news. They ask him to go to the police station, which he does. They get the information for 2 hours and then suddenly up the ante and act like he deliberately hit the fellow and tried to cover it up.

He hands the police the card for his lawyer and then said it sounds like they need to talk to him. He talked to his bosses on Monday and they said they back him. He has had the same job for 15 years.

He is pretty upset at this time. Weird things happen.

*The drunk who was standing in the middle of the road got a broken leg.

I was watching the local news Thursday and this case was on the news - weird. There was also a fellow run down on the other side of town.
