Sliced Cheese: Motorcycles Cut Rescue Time

Rescue workers in Miami-Dade County have begun using souped-up BMW motorcycles to zip in and out of Miami rush hour traffic that would stop normal emergency vehicles.

After hearing of Miami's success, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger decided to upgrade his state's emergency response vehicles to make them more effective in traffic. The governor, who said that motorcycles are "for wimps," has authorized the use of "emergency monster trucks" to "run right over those namby-pamby little girly cars" that get in the way of emergency vehicles.
