so i get out of work a little after 3:00AM.

i'm about to pull into my street in a suburban housing development but their is something on the radio i want to hear...{bubba the love sponge show}...so i decide to drive for a minuet to hear the rest of it.

so on i go past my street.after that it turns into country roads.i'm coming to the end of a country road where it ends and makes a "T" with another road where i plan to swing the car around and head home.

while coming to the end of the road i notice a bicycle on the side of the road at the corner and subconsciously think it must be garbage and that is why its at the road side in someones front yard.the bike is on my right hand,passenger side.

i turn the car around at the intersection and now the bike is on my side so i can see it better.my heart drops as i see a human body lying next to the bike in the grass.

i drive up 40 yards and get out of my car remembering i have my cell phone in my trunk.i call 911 and tell them the situation and where i am.they ask me if the individual is breathing so i walk over to him and i really cant see any breathing movements.

mind you it is in the 40's and the grass this kid is lying in is wet.at this point i dont know if he's been hit by a car,intoxicated or if it some type of medical condition.

while i'm waiting for rescue i do see him move so now i know he's alive.a few minuets later he wakes up,looks up at me in my car and seems really confused.

i ask him if he's alright and he say "I'M FREEZING TO DEATH".i ask him if he's been drinking and his answer is "I'M F%$#*&@ TRASHED DUDE".i giggled and said to him that i was worried about him and didnt know what had happened to him so i called 911.

he tells me "thanks",hops on his bike and takes off but just then 2 cops,1 ambulance and 3 volunteer firemen come around the corner.

i took off,went home and had a few of my own,except i plan on sleeping in my own bed tonight as opposed to the side of bear springs rd......lol.the [censored] kids head was lying in the road on the white line.it looked like somebody put him out front for the trash pick up.

i saw him talking with the cops and was obviously O.K. but could've easily fallen to hypothermia had he been out their much longer,although i have no idea how long he had been their.he was only wearing a t-shirt and jeans and had to be very wet due the condensation on the grass.

one of my co-worker's brother died this last winter.he was walking home drunk from a bar,took a shortcut where he had to walk over a wooden plank that made a make-shift bridge across a ditch with a couple feet of ice water in it.he fell off the plank into the ice water,was knocked unconscious and died of hypothermia

i thought for a few moments their tonight i was looking at a dead body.something startling about seeing a body lying on the side of the road at 3:30AM.

Glad he was OK.

Live bodies are less unnerving than dead bodies.

At least under most circumstances.

You may have saved his life, northern1. Good for you for being a good Samaritan.

N1 - I applaud your concern for a fellow human being, and your attempt to help. However, in the future you might consider the possibility of a "staged" accident, making you vulnerable to robbery, theft, or worse. A call from the safety of your car, along with your pistol at hand would be a little safer bet for you. After all, we want to keep our Dogs safe in the Yard! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Way to go.

That is one crazy story! I am glad the guys was ok, but this is one story I am going to be thinking about all day!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Well done. A lot don't stop these days I bet.

Good job N1, Ned says hi.

Interesting story N1! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> Good job! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I can remember doing some crazy things in my youth... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" /> I'm glad it's behind me and that I survived. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

northern1, you realize what you've done?

you could have just saved the life of an anti knife, anti gun, anti freedom rally leader who'll rise to power through cunning political tactics and ruin our lives with the propaganda he feeds to the american (and i use that term loosely) sheepulation (and i use that term strictly) who grow in number and sheepishness by the day, exponentially!!! more run on sentences!!!

but really, good man.

Which is kind of weird if you really start to think about it. Dead bodies can be complicated, but they're just a fact. A pile of protein, fat, calcium, water, etc. They just sit there providing food to all the recyclers of the chain. It's the live bodies that you gotta watch out for, because they re the ones who do irrational, inconvenient, possibly dangerous things. Similar to the way in which a volcano is more exciting than a hill.
