“No way you can jump down from there...”

The Swedish postal service released surveillance footage from one of its trucks showing a particularly daring team of suspected thieves.
Men can be seen boarding the truck in motion from the hood of a following car and moving back and forth between the two vehicles.

When I was in the Navy, we drove a short bus full of watch-standers from the living area out to the radio receiver site.
One of the guys bragged that he could run 35 mph. He planned on exiting the bus at 35, stepping out of the door well onto the pavement and running at what would be 35 mph.
So he did. When his foot hit the pavement, it sounded like a gun firing, and he proceeded to tumble head over heels into the ditch. Now that I think of it, he could have easily gone under the wheels. But it made for a great memory. And the guy? He dusted himself off and got back on the bus.
LOL, there is always one in the crowd of boys, no matter the age.
“No way you can jump down from there...”
Seemed like the face plant would have been epic...
An international gang. Is that what they are calling Muslim thieves now?

I read a great book called “Freedom’s Forge: How American Business Produced Victory in World War II” about the industrial buildup leading up to and into WWII.
When Henry Kaiser (of Liberty Ship fame) was going for one of his first big contracts in 1921 building roads in California, so when he and a partner took a train to apply for the contract, they found out the train didn’t stop at that town.
So they jumped off the train in their business suits at around 30 mph, and promptly went head over heels, muddying their clothes, and suffering multiple abrasions but breaking no bones. There happened to be a conductor at the place they jumped, and when they limped in, he just shook his head in disapproval at the idiocy of jumping off a train.
They showed up for the interview all muddied and scraped, but got the contract.
LOL! Mannix! (I saw some Mannix, but not Seinfeld...:)
I saw something like this on an episode of Knight Rider, only it was a transport hauling gold they were breaking into.
If you only see one episode ever, see “The Limo.” :-)

Jerry: I don’t want to be Murphy anymore; do I still have to be Murphy?
George: Yes, you have to be Murphy.
Jerry: It makes no sense now, me being Murphy.
George: You’re Murphy!
Jerry: I’m Seinfeld!
George: You’re Murphy!! Look, let’s just jump out of the car.
Jerry: We’re doing sixty miles an hour!
George: So we jump and roll, you won’t get hurt.
Jerry: Who are you, Mannix?
