I&#8217;m not sure exactly where this damage was performed, but it sure looked ugly. The top of the truck was literally peeled back. The roll-up door was up, so I&#8217;m guessing they just parked it and transferred the cargo to a new truck. Bummer.<\/p>\n<p>That reminded me of the other day, when I was sitting in a McDonald&#8217;s with my boys. A little truck came by with a ladder in the back, propped up against the cab. It was clearly too high to make it through most drive-thrus, and I heard another table of customers remark about it. The truck went around the back in the drive-thru lane, but we never saw what transpired. When you have two toddlers and a lot of ketchup handy, there&#8217;s not much time to be gawking at the parking lot.<\/p>\n<p>I could tell some funny insider stories about the KFYR-TV live truck with the antenna mast on top of it, but I&#8217;ll just leave that to your imagination \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was on my way to a decisive victory on the air hockey table at Midway Lanes, when I had to do a double-take.
