Toll plaza crash leaves turnpike covered in meat


“It’s not like little steaks,’’ said Colin Durrant, a state transportation spokesman and former vegetarian who spent his morning monitoring the cleanup. “It’s like a side of beef the size of my desk. They were large.’’

Figured that since I can't stop giggling over the headline that I might well share the damn thing. :)

1. PeTA was involved, I just know it.
The truck ahead of it, the one that started the chain reaction, was full of TOMATOES.

Coincidence?

I think not.

2. In other news...
The annual BBQ for State Transporation workers will be held weekly until the meat runs out!

3. It's like that scene in The Godfather!

Well, not exactly...

Now, pray for a nearby bacon truck to overturn, that we may partake of the perfect meal combination.

PIG ON COW! PIG ON COW!

4. The cops were pissed. It wasn't a Dunkin' Donuts semi.

5. Cops have those tire-destroying spike strips.
Next time you hear of a DD semi going down, follow the motive...and the means.
