  Back in the day, Orson Wells was one of the best paid actors on radio. In those days, shows would broadcast live twice a night, once for the East Coast and then again for the West. Wells like to book two shows a night, but had troulbe getting from studio to studio quickly enough.

  He discovered that there were a lot of rules for operating an ambulance, but no where in the rules did it say that the ambulance had to be carrying an actual patient, or going to get one.

  Wells had his own private ambulance carrying him from studio to studio.

    I recall a story about assholes in Turkey doing the same thing, and as a result other drivers got into the habit of blocking ambulances to spite them.

      Apparently, rich folks in Moscow can buy a special license to run with lights&sirens. Same result.

  A Quebec Woman Creates a Sensation, Riding Through St. John Street in a Bearse, Reclining on the Coffin-Bed, and Smoking a Pipe. What will women do next to distinguish themselves, we wonder! A female in Quebec, the other day, perpetrated a ghastly joke, mocking death in his own domain, by lying down in a hearse and smoking a pipe as the funeral chariot was driven through the street. If this exhibition had been made in the United States, our neighbors at the North would have made it the sub- ject of very strong animad- versions.

  I sooooo would want to do this, minus the smoking. Maybe some snacks instead.
