A long time ago I was driving on the interstate in the left lane. Ahead of me in the center lane was a truck with a stack of 8 x 4 sheets of dry wall. The wind caught the top sheet, flipped it up and sent it rolling on it’s edge down the road. It rolled past the car immediately behind the truck and then behind the car the draft flipped the sheet 90 degrees so that it was now perpendicular to the large pick-up truck next in line which smashed through the dry wall making an epic explosion of white powder. Entire thing took maybe 5 seconds. Everyone just kept driving.

Fuck the spool of cable. What about the idiot shooting video while driving in the opposite lanes?

I once saw a boat come loose from the car that was hauling it. The driver, unaware, changed lanes and slowed down. The boat then passed him and I will never forget the look on his face.

Thank you for upping my mood. I won’t make any obvious “up yours” jokes, mainly because I can’t think of any.

Who is singing that cover of gin and juice?
Sounds like Pat Boone (check out his cover of Dio’s Holy Diver) but I can’t find any evidence he did it. I thought it might be prolific lounge cover artist Richard Cheese, but his version is different.
In case anyone else enjoys mentally dissonant musical covers, my favorite is The Gourds’ bluegrass cover of Gin and Juice.

I assumed it was Weird Al.

A great place to be from!
Not to go to, but to come from.

It’s a blown tire carcass that the pickup/trailer ran over. You can see its stringy guts as it wobbles initially after being kicked up.

An indelible image from my childhood is passing an accident on the interstate where a lumber truck lost its load into the semi behind it. Part of the driver was still hanging out the window when we passed.

I used to work for the Kentucky Department of Highways. One year I went through a stack of accident reports, looking for problem spots. One report stood out: Death by Plywood.
Two guys went to 84 Lumber to buy a large piece of plywood. Too large to lay flat in the bed of their pickup. So one stood in the back holding it while the other drove. Estimated speed of vehicle at time of liftoff: 45mph.
According to the notes in the accident report, the plywood landed safely on the shoulder. The guy in back went to a nearby hospital.

As a certified transportation engineer with over 30 years in the Kentucky Department of Highways, I can assure you that is not a properly licensed vehicle. 
Note that those barriers are designed to keep vehicles from crossing, by lifting impacting wheels and redirecting them, reducing their speed.

Not surprising. He’s one of those idiots who leaves his right blinker on, then swerves left.

About 20 years ago I was in the car with my parents (dad driving) in the mountains of eastern PA when a semi in front of us shed its radial which went bouncing along the road; it hit about 10 feet in front of us and bounced on over.
