Guy I used to work with left our shop one morning back in the sixties. He was driving one of the old cab forward econolines. Leo never got in much of a rush, and I might surmise he never had a ticket or accident. Some woman came flying up on his bumper just before he hit the local town. Light changed, Leo stopped. Green light, he didn't have time to let his foot off the brake and her horn started blaring. Leo went on ahead about 1/2 mile, and the next light turned yellow. He stopped, his tailgunner still on his bumper. Green light, BLEEP! He was starting to get annoyed. About 1/4 of a mile later, another light, same thing. There was only one more light in town- this time he intentionally plugged along until it changed to red. He kicked his truck out of gear, set the parking brake, and waited for the horn. The light turned green, and sure enough, the b!tch in her Caddy laid on the horn again. Leo undid his seat belt, climbed out of the truck, and started toward her. She very quickly rolled her window up, and started to get that deer in the headlight look. She was in a hurry, and no telephone man should get in her way! Good ol' Leo walked in front of her car, reached over, and popped the hood up. He then calmly climbed back into his truck, and drove on thru what was now a stale green light. Of course, the light changed red about 10 seconds later, and her hood was still in the air as he went over the hill about 1/2 mile past that. He never heard any more except some stories of a couple of people behind her ( he lived in town), who turned him into a legend and folk hero.
Footnote: Leo Dillon Wallet passed away earlier this month. RIP Old Friend.
