Thistle, UT – Just 14 miles from the I-15 Dean Johnston and Laynni Locke were directed on to a 104-mile detour allegedly due to a fallen transformer.

Foreigner Drives Wrong Way on One-Way Street
Billings, MT – In downtown Billings last week a Canadian man drove more than 3 blocks in a northerly direction on a southbound street. While still puzzling over the fact that the intersection’s only traffic light faced away from him he was startled when his wife began yelling, “Wrong way! Wrong way!” Suddenly realizing his error he just managed to turn off before reaching the 3 lanes of oncoming traffic. He later explained his mistake, saying that he didn’t realize that it was one-way.
Local Man Disturbed by Canadian License Plates
Malta, MT – A local farmer expressed alarm upon spotting Saskatchewan license plates from his booth in the Malta Dairy Queen last week. “That means there are Canadians in this restaurant right now”, he deduced. His wife then noted that it was “a small car” which seemed to assuage his fears, although it was unclear how that fact reduced the Canadian threat. The couple did manage to finish their meals before leaving in a calm fashion.
