This was about a decade ago...
You know how the City has no parking zones during the rush hour(s)? If you are parked one of these affected zones, the tow truck drivers just hook you up and tow you away.
On 6th Avenue across from the Petro Canada building, I was watching a tow truck driver hook up a car. Half a block away, a guy in a full suit carrying a briefcase was running in full stride towards the tow truck. Not yelling or calling out. Just running. And, just like in the cartoons, he slipped or tripped. His legs shot out from under him and he was literally hanging horizontal in the air before gravity took effect. He landed with a thud on his back and his briefcase exploded with papers flying everywhere. Without a word being spoken, the tow truck driver started to unhitched the car.
