Light Poles and Fire Hydrants

I have a buddy that had the unfortunate circumstance to take out an NES (Nash-Vegas Electric Service) light pole a year or so ago with his Jeep Cherokee. They, NES, magnanimously (ha) set him up an account whereby he he can pay them in monthly installments for the replacement of said light pole. Light poles, by the way, are pretty damned expensive! He said that now he kind of feels like it's his light pole. Said he might like to put a plaque on it that says, "This Light Pole Compliments of So and So". Interesting, what?

In talking with our buddy Peter D. a couple days ago he told me about a crazy uncle of his that owns three (!) fire hydrants in Worcester, Mass. Yep, he killed 3 fire hydrants. He killed two of them with a Hudson Hornet, the other with a Ford Galaxy 500.

And, I'm sure with lead-sleds like that them fire hydrants were well and truly killed.
