"SNIP.....

A hitchhiker is recovering from slight hypothermia after spending two hours clinging to the back of a transport truck in an effort to get from Alma to Quebec City.

The man jumped onto the tailgate of the truck Wednesday morning as it left a rest stop near Alma, 230 kilometres north of Quebec City.

Dave Tremblay, the truck driver, told Radio-Canada he had no idea the man was there until he was alerted to the situation by another motorist — more than a hundred kilometres away.

When Tremblay stopped to check things out, he found the hitchhiker, covered in snow and frozen.

3. When there was fresh snow on the ground in what was then a village I grew up in they

did not put salt on the roads. So boys would sometimes grab the back of your bumper, bend their knees and put their boots flat on the snow and go for a uninvited ride on the back of some unsuspecting driver's car. Or on the bus. Called 'bunking'. Well the village became part of the city and got salt on its roads and I had not heard of any further stupidity until tonight.
