This happened in either a Tom and Jerry or a Mr. Magoo goes to the winery episode.

Battling an intensely hot fire after a cargo truck crashed on a highway, emergency crews were surprised to find themselves suddenly fired upon — by corks from exploding wine bottles inside.

Pull quote of the day…

“The corks were popping out of the bottles like the old Jiffy Pop (popcorn) we grew up with,” Wyoming Highway Patrol Lt. Scott Keane said.

Patrolman Keane doesn’t get interviewed very often. He’s been saving up that analogy for years, considering Jiffy Pop hasn’t been popular since Reagan’s first term. He wanted to use it last week when old man Habersham was burned to a crisp in a garage accident.

Smart move Patrolman. You’ll be a Captain soon. The most popular Captain since that new kid’s show Captain Kangaroo that all the children are rapping about down at the malt shoppe.
