    Exactly, stopping before going under the bridge to see if it will actually clear is a waste of time and would defeat the purpose of taking a shortcut. The only sure fire way of telling if it will fit is to bore right into it and see what happens.

    If Halloween falls on a day that ends in "y", I'll be sarcastic that day as well.

    I think you may not entirely know what I mean when I say, a day that ends in "y", so let me explain:

    Monday, Tuesday, Tomorrow-Day, any other day

    Any day, that ends in "y"

    Guess the letters on the side of the truck were not big enough for the driver to read or see.
    Ironically he never seen the clearly marked bridge height either by the looks of it.
    Perhaps someone needs new glasses.
    And of coarse a new top for the truck and a new trailer too and bridge repair.

    Oh. My sarcasm wasn't seen...

    I see we have a sarcasm standoff.

    How to resolve this indeed...
