A Deer Story You Ain't Believe!

Service call of the month from a Baltimore Gas &Electric
residential customer ... BGE received a call from a customer
saying:

"My power is out. When you come to fix it be sure to bring a
truck
with a tall enough bucket to remove the deer". The customer
service rep
prudently trying to gather helpful information to help
diagnose the
problem asked, "What deer"?

The customer replied " There is a deer on top of one of the
electric poles on Wilkes Rd about 1/2 mile west of perimeter Rd".

The customer service rep tried desperately to pull herself
together
and not laugh in front of the customer and replied " We will
dispatch
someone right away to investigate the power outage. Thank you
for
the call".

Upon completion of the call, the customer service rep
proceeded to
share the funny story with her coworkers in the office and they
all had a
good laugh.

Well, low and behold, the serviceman who repaired the problem
stopped by the customer service office the following day with the
attached
pictures.

Sure enough, the poor deer had been hit by a train & landed on
top
of a distribution feeder pole!

Some people are good at making a little doe go a long ways.

I think this tops the 'pork chop on a stick' at the state fair.
