and is called so...due to my neighbor! Basically this old guy moved in 1 block down the road within the last year. It all started about 6 months ago. Back when I still had the dodge. Lisa tells me before work one morning..."theres a guy in our ditch":rubeyes: sure enough...so I pulled him out.
over the next few months...this becomes a joke. He's put this taurus wagon in the ditch a couple more times:drinkbud: and this sat, Lisa get's back from the post office..."hey, ya see the old man in the ditch again?":banghead: yep! he drive straight back from his drive way, crossing the entire road, and into the ditch on the other side!:wtf: I pulled it out again! I did think to take a picture...but the droid decided NOT to keep IT!!! somehow, it didnt save it:banghead: trust me, Ill get a pick of it being recovered again soon!

:hysterical: haha we had an old man back home notorious for cleaning out ditches and pounding mailboxes with his taurus as well. most dangerous man on the road and he never made it over 35 mph.

If you can't fix it with a hammer and a welder then your gonna need a new one!

Maybe you should put up a guard rail!! Or just have fun with it, and see how long it takes you to pull him out! Kinda like a NASCAR pit stop!

Where they stuck down by your house or what? I didn't think there was a tidal creek that close to you!

As originally posted by Gubni on another site. Enjoy:
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the truck All the fluids were frozen, the injectors were stuck, The glow plugs were chilled and the turbo stone-cold, This weather was frightful if I may be so bold, ... The snowdrift was piled sky-high on the hood, As I tossed to the fire a fresh load of wood, My good wife and I settled in for some rest But 'twas not long-lived, yet perhaps for the best "What's that!" I declared with a roar And no sooner than said came a knock at the door, I arose from my chair soon to be slumber's bed And there on the porch was the Big Man in red! "I'm stuck" spoke he, "can you give me a pull? "I said I may be stupid but I ain't no fool So I rushed to the truck as I buttoned my flap I opened the door and threw out my strap One move and the key was set firm without strife With one quick turn that mighty Ford Diesel came roaring to life! The rattle and roar of that powerful eight The hot blast of smoke shaking the frozen fruit cake The reindeer were nervous and in awe of such might But they knew that Ford Diesel would be saving their night I eased in the clutch and I dropped her in gear The T-case in low as I backed her in near One end to the hitch and the other to sleigh The tow strap was set as the snow wiped away He cried out "I'm not sure, cause that old sleigh is heavy But I trust you, cause I see you're not driving a Chevy" I gave her some fuel and four tires did spin Then they grabbed with the strength of the truck I was in Ol' Ford started smoking and pulling so hard That I ended up halfway 'cross my neighbor's yard As I backed off the fuel and gave a proud shout He declared that "No Dodge could have pulled that sleigh out!" He thanked me profusely and the reindeer did bow To the Mighty Ford Diesel, which was idling now For they knew in their hearts that without this fueled might That there would be no Christmas this shivering night He climbed in his seat and with a wave of his hand Those reindeer lurched forward across the snowed land "I thank you again my dear newly-found friend For your hand and your heart kept this night from its end And later this eve, warm and snug in my lodge I'll be thanking the Lord, that you did not buy a Dodge!" |
