cocheese 0 #11 September 23, 2011 At Bridge Day after 9/11, before entering the bridge, one of the policemen (with a southern accent) told a group of jumpers to take their "shoodts" off right here. Everyone thought he said "Shoes" so they all started taking off their shoes for inspection. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
