A Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer stopped to help a stranded rider standing beside a stalled motorcycle in the mountains. It was extremely cold, and the rider was heavily dressed in a helmet, balaclava and snowmobile suit. In a muffled voice, the rider told the Mountie the carburettor was frozen.

"Well, piss on it," the Mountie said.

"Can't," replied the rider.

The helpful Mountie took out his own equipment and liberally hosed down the carburettor, and the bike soon fired up.

A few days later the local detachment received a thank you note from a father, grateful for the roadside assistance his young daughter had received from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
