Not to a TeaBagger...... unless it's the Constitution....... and even then they read it badly, or skip over parts they don't like.... or get it wrong all together.

I posted a link to this site months ago. As I said then, this is what happens when you let amateurs* drive trucks.


*Amateur truck drivers, that is, not amateur radio operators. Not necessarily.

But, certainly, not to be excepted from the stupid equation. Think about some of the folks you routinely see at any hamfest, or the h/t laden groupies at fire scenes and other hoped-for disasters. Want any of them in the cab?

I like the way they think going under in the left lane away from the warning will somehow make it all right.

Now I don't feel so bad about scraping the drive up canopy at the newly built clinic with the company truck a few years ago.

I once watched a guy in a U-Haul van body displace the canopy of a bank drive-up by about a foot. Hell of a mess. Broke all the vacuum transit tubes, dropped plastic light shields and about a pound of shattered fluorescent tube fragments all over another customer's car. Too lazy and stupid to park the thing and walk into the bank. No idea who paid or how much it cost, but that bank window was out of operation for about three months.

I've seen that one many times. Never fails to astonish me. The one I saw did not bring the canopy down entirely, but the construction folks who handled the repair did.

Not only trucks but trains do it too. At a station in Melbourne, Australia one overshot the end of track and demolished a bank window, took the whole wall down too. I'd post it but it would take all night to find it in the railroad web site archive where I saw it today. (:-<)

Well, everyone knows amateur radio operators can;;t handle machinery. :)
