Thread a couple days ago reminds of an old story.
Lars had gotten himself a job hauling new cars from the Ford factory in St Paul to dealers. Late one day he was dispatched with a hot load to Duluth, boss said he could take the rig home overnite, but be there at 8 the next morning. Along the way his truck lites went out. Being smarter than the average Scandihoovian lad, he turned on the headllites on the car on top of trailer so he could see the road, & park lites on last car to protect his rear. Make it to the house, finish trip after daylight.
One car he met on the road suddenly made a sharp turn, thru the ditch, & out across the corn field. Lars stopped, & soon Ole came out of the field, shaking like a leaf. When Lars asked what happened, Ole said,"If that truck is as wide as it is high, I'm gettin the heck out of his way".
