pigs chasing sheep!
A dark, rainy Xmas eve several years ago, a friend and I are in my car (beat up old fiesta 1.1) heading down some back-roads to get to a party. I didnt know the roads and he supposedly did so was calling out pace-notes, which was nice until he got it wrong. The easy right-hander turned out to be a bloody sharp corner....understeer...slide...panic...brace for impact...ploughed through a fence into a field. The barbed-wire got all tangled around the car so we pulled down a good 100m or so of rickety old fencing. A load of sheep had been happily standing about when our sudden arrival in their fied caused a stampede....straight out the gap in the fence onto the road. Grumpy farmer turned up, followed by the cops. I was taken into the back of the cop car where the lady (quite foxy too, I should add) police oficer breathalysed me, asked me what happened etc. every now and then in the headlights of the cop car, we would see the rather overweight male copper and grumpy farmer running about in the dark trying to round up these sheep!
I found this hilarious, and so did the woman officer. Later, when the car was recovered and the sheep safely back in the field, the sweaty, mud-splattered chubby copper got back into the car. He hadnt found it very funny at all.
