While our group was out riding in the Springbrook area, we came across a

stranded motorist that stuffed her front end into a snow bank. Larry being the

good Samaritan that he, is decided to stop and see how he could help. This

young lady was trying to dig the front wheels free as to get some traction, Larry

proceeds to say "well, at least your prepared, you have your own shovel" she

states, "No, I got it from the house across the street" "what no winter survival kit?"

asks Larry. "Well, I have my cigarettes!" she claims as she pats her front pocket.

At this point we new we had a real winner on our hands, but we decided to help

anyways. As we proceed to dig out the front wheels, she gets in and is ready to go,

first forward, then back, then forward again as we all push. The front tires break free

as she gains traction, suddenly she is on the road, puts the pedal to the floor, and you

guessed it, she's gone! Not a thank-you, not a wave, nothing, now isn't that gratitude for

you? Larry now proceeds to stand in the middle of the road waving, saying " you're welcome,

see ya soon, you ungrateful ." Larry starts to proceed back to the house, after all

the shovel has to be returned, as he walks up the driveway, the house owner is pounding on the

window "leave it right there, don't come any closer!" Well, Okay, Larry puts the shovel in the

snow bank, but not before posing for a picture. We all hoped to find that women stuck again around

the next curve, had we, we all would have kept going without even wave.....
