Arrow Look at this:

This was sended to me for KAWA (Rog) I hope it works.
This Blonde Ran Over A Mattress On The Highway
And Decided Not To Worry And Kept Driving..


The Ensuing Jumble Finally Whipped Around Enough
to
Tear A Hole In The Fuel Tank.


The Subsequent Lack Of Fuel Is What Finally
Brought HerVehicle To It's Knee's.


She Had Still Managed To Drive 30 More Miles

With A 60 Pound Tangle of Stuff Wrapped
Around Her Driveshaft.


She Had It Towed To Her Dealership And Complained

That The Vehicle Had A " Sort Of Shimmy "

When She Was Driving At High Speeds.

Had something similar happen to own of our road trucks a few years ago, going towards sturgis. The driver had a motor cycle in the left lane along side his truck and an Suv on the right shoulder- (the likely culprit) and in the dark at 70mph he saw the mattress in the lane in front of him. Then decided between hitting th the biker, the suv or the mattress. So he hit the mattress 1/4 of a mile later his tractor burned to the ground. The mattress was wrapped around the drive line and started a fire which was fuel by 25o gal of diesel and however much fiberglass not to mention the drivers belongings.

TJ,
I think that it might take a tad bit more than 2 hrs to cut through all of that rat's nest. Remember, you have to stop working just to laugh and take pix.
