You have to admire those who can maintain a sense of humor even in the face of tragedy.

During the relief effort to help those stranded during Colorado’s recent catastrophic “Biblical Flood,” a police officer in Colorado decided to indulge in some light relief of his own.

When he spotted a National Guard Blackhawk Helicopter perched on the street of his town, he did what every self respecting  cop would do… he gave it a parking ticket.  The ticket cited that the Blackhawk was “facing the wrong way” and “parked in no parking zone.”

Fortunately the National Guardsmen took the ticket with a spirit of mischief that was intended. They paid no attention nor fine.
