Years ago "we" thought "we" were pretty tricky with nylon ropes. I was a member of a small local 4x4 club. One night on a VERY icy slick county road, two of us came across a big Chrysler in the ditch, a shallow, rolling thing that in good weather a 2x4 pickup could have driven right out of.
I didn't realize the old fart was drunk as a skunk.
Tied to the rear, told him to give it a little in reverse, and hang on. The procedure with a nylon rope involves momentum. I wound up the Chrysler 340 powered Landcruiser and off we went. Put the guy's face right into the steering wheel, gave him a bloody nose.
Then he WAS put out. That's when I discovered he was drunk. After a rather one-sided conversation, with him doing the, uh, "talking" I offered to call the sheriff. He declined the offer. For all I know, he could still be in that ditch.
One night a kid had wrecked his car "up the road" and walked in, woke up my Dad. He was not a good person to wake up. Kid asked "can you call a wrecker?"
Dad said "yep, go out and wait on the front porch." Closed the door, called the sheriff, and went back to bed.
