"We Have A Power Cut"

Sharon · #1 ● 06-10-2013, 04:13 PM

Baltimore Gas and Electric received a call from a customer saying: "My power is out. When you come to fix it be sure to bring a truck to remove the deer".

The customer service rep asked, "What deer"? The customer replied "There is a deer on top of one of the electric poles on Wilkes Rd about 1/2 mile west of Perimeter Rd". The customer service rep tried desperately not to laugh in front of the customer and replied, "We will dispatch someone right away to investigate the power outage. Thank you for the call".

Upon completion of the call, the customer service rep told the story to her co-workers in the office and they all had a good laugh. The serviceman who repaired the problem stopped by the customer service office the following day with the attached pictures (below).

The unfortunate deer had been hit by a train and landed on top of a distribution feeder pole, hind legs missing

That gives a whole new meaning to the term "Hi deer!"

Feel sorry for the lineman that's gotta haul that deer carcass down in the bucket with him, bet it's a lovely potpourri of rotten and burnt...
