Post More Jumper cable stories!

Always make sure you carry a pair of jumper cables in your trunk...you never know when...or HOW you will get to use them!

Police Officer uses jumper cables to save woman, dog.
A north side woman who tried to help her dog out on the ice, soon found herself in trouble as well. She is thankful for a quick-thinking metro police officer who saved them, using an unexpected item.

How jumper cables saved the space station!
What does an ordinary person do when the ol’ computer just won’t start up? Poke the power button until the index finger nears chafing, slap the keyboard like a cantankerous kid on a Casio, thoughtfully jiggle the wires, and finally, start poking again.

A shock cure for snakebite!
The following is a summation and series of quotes from a two part
article that appeared in OUTDOOR LIFE magazine. The name of the
article is "A Shock Cure for Snakebite" and was written by Larry
Mueller

A guy goes into a restaurant/lounge wearing a shirt open at the collar and
is met by a bouncer who tells him he must wear a necktie to gain
admission.

So the guy goes out to his car and he looks around for a necktie and
discovers that he just doesn't have one. He sees a set of jumper cables
in his trunk. In desperation he ties these around his neck, manages to
fashion a fairly acceptable looking knot and lets the ends dangle free.

He goes back to the restaurant and the bouncer carefully looks him over
for a few minutes and then says, "Well, OK, I guess you can come in - just
don't start anything."
