A Real Traffic "Jam"

#1 Postby TexasStooge » Tue Aug 17, 2004 10:55 am

That's What I Call a Traffic Jam!

BERLIN (Reuters) - A German truck driver lost control of his vehicle while trying to swat a wasp and spilled his 15-ton load of jam jars on the motorway, police said on Tuesday.

"He was trying so hard to kill the wasp that he smashed the truck against the barrier," a spokesman for the motorway police in the western town of Greven said.

"That's when he really started attracting wasps. There was jam all over the motorway."

Police had to close the A1 motorway for two hours while they cleaned up the mess, causing a long traffic jam.

Oh that's ok NWIA. Sometimes the old noggin isn't in gear. That reminds me. We had a joke in our family. When one of us was like two years old, someone asked "where are your kidneys?" And the little kid pointed to his head. After that, whenever someone had a bright idea, the saying was: "that's using your kidneys!"
