    How's this for a 'Brown' out

    Corner of Wilkes and The Perimeter Hwy....

    MB Hydro 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 was prudently trying to gather helpful information and diagnose the problem.
    He asked, 'What deer?'
    The customer replied,
    'There is a deer on top of one of the electric poles on Wilkes Rd. about ½ mile west of the Perimeter.'
    The customer service rep tried desperately to pull herself together and not laugh in front of the customer.
    He 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.
    He showed them the following pictures . …

    Cause- Train collision!!

    Deers is about as stupid as dragons (hint: Yosemite Sam)
    First you get good, then you get fast. Then grouchiness sets in.

    I've had crows and seagulls take our pole fuses out but never a deer. That is a good one.
    An open mind is a virtue...so long as all the common sense has not leaked out.

    Maybe that deer was just hiding from hunters (they'll never look up here )
