Coquihalla pile-upThe Coq, just 4km south of town, was

the site of a multi-vehicle pile up at about3:30pm on Friday afternoon. 9 peoplewere hurt, 2 seriously enough to be takento Royal Inland Hopital in Kamloops,while the rest were treated at NVGH. Theincident involved 2 commercial tractortrailer units and 5 personal vehicles. Bothnorth and southbound lanes were closedfor a short time during the investigation.Police say the highway was wet at thetime and the accident likely could have

been prevented. It apparently startedwith a minor accident and drivers notpaying attention as they were going by,and ended up with several vehicles col-liding with each other. One witnessclaims that one of the semis did not slowdown & plowed straight into the vehiclesthat were stopped for the [first] accident.

More paraprosdokians (a figure of speech in which the latter part of a phrase is unexpected)

The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse always gets the cheese.

A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On mydesk, I have a workstation.

Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train peopleto stand on the very edge of a pool and throw them fish.
