the funniest (? ... you had to be there), to me at least, was the sofa that
unstrapped itself from the back of a pickup, LEAPED into the air at a bump,
and slide along the asphalt at 60 mph ... until it was drop-kicked into the
median by an 18-wheeler!


i was a ways behind the 18-wheeler and he never hit his brakes so i don't
know if he wasn't watching ... or just did it on purpose to "clear the road".
but it "just sailed right out there ... just sailed right out there ...". :)


the pickup never knew it had lost anything. just kept right on going.
