RCMP Grammar

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - Police in a Vancouver suburb issued an unusual warning to drivers on Monday: If you run out fuel, do not lay down on the road to get assistance.

Police were alerted to a man's body laying along the Trans Canada Highway in the predawn darkness only to discover he was "quite alive", but that his car had run out of gas and he "wanted to attract someone's attention".

"Guess it worked, but police don't really recommend this method," the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Burnaby, British Columbia, said in a press release."

I highly doubt "Guess it worked" was in the press release.

Update: it was.

Their style guide is unique. I can't image writing that. Their communications person needs a new copy of CP style or perhaps a simple writing course.

Thanks for the chuckle.
