    Well guess who will be getting a new stronger bridge bought by a trucking company....

    I hate to make that call on Christmas Day

    Ring ring, I boss, I hate to bother you being it's Christmas, but I have a slight problem.
    Well it better be good. Got the Grandkids here and we are all getting ready to have our Christmas Day feast.
    Well how good is our insurance??
    Huh What, Well I was crossing this bridge and I kinda got stuck, So I dropped it in low gear and hammered down on the throttle and next thing I know the truck is in the water..
    What do you mean the truck is in the water???
    Well the bridge couldn't handle the weight and me shaking the over head supports so it broke..
    Boss to driver, What the F you mean the bridge fell through and why where you there to begin with
    Driver, Well that GPS I bought for 15.99 said to go this way
