If you're sliding off the Gay St. bridge...

So some snow hit Knoxville tonight, and as I usually do when things get wacky, I tuned into the police scanner. One of Knoxville's finest was attempting to cross Gay St. bridge and asked about getting some salt trucks out there... Dispatch responded that "we can't salt that bridge, it'll void the warranty."

Luckily the cop went ahead and put a little bit of chemicals on the road to de-ice a patch. But if you ever plummet to your doom thanks to an icy patch on Gay St. bridge, just remember "I wish we'd bought the extended, salt-OK warranty for this stupid bridge..."

Your tax dollars at work!
