Simultaneously displaying both a green thumb and a lead foot, a bloke in Darwin has apparently attempted to direct peak-hour traffic with naught but a bag of frozen peas.
Police in the Northern Territory received calls from concerned citizens reporting a man in the middle of the six-lane Bagot Road at around 5pm yesterday.
But before Police could respond, the man split and neither he nor his frozen legumes could be found.
NT Police Duty Superintendent Del Jones stated “I have absolutely no idea why you’d try to direct traffic with frozen peas. Might’ve been trying to defrost them, I don’t know.“
“Hopefully him and the peas are safe and sound at home.“
Perhaps he was just trying to get people to give peas a chance. Maybe he was working on his summer pod. I hope when he got home he wasn’t too thaw. I’m not sure where this story came from; I heard it off the vine. It’s an incident that’s part of a new crop. But if he keeps this up he might find himself in the can.
As for whether this kind of thing is a regular occurrence in her neck of the woods, Superintendent Jones said:
“Very strange things happen at this time of the year in the Territory.“
‘ken oath.
