That's what happens when they find snakes on a plane.........

Would you say this is at least interesting, conceptually?
Perspective?
"Fake news"?

The guy clearly has a tonneu (sp?) cover over the back of his truck bed... so he cares about the truck, but maybe he doesn't want to be inconvenienced and roll-back the cover.

There's got to be more to this than I'm seeing... someone please fix this, my brain is stuck in a loop right now trying to work through the logic.

He bought a Silverado and you are looking for logic ?

He's an idiot (or maybe a Liberal idiot).

Don't try to make sense of what either one does.

I'm going to spoil everyone's fun and suggest that the board was laying in the road and he had his passenger jump out and grab it, and is about to pull over and put it down in a safe spot.

I'm all for wishful thinking but, I don't have that much confidence in the general public. I've been to Lowe's and Home Depot enough to know better.
I've actually waited in their parking lots so that I could watch some folks leave. Mostly because I want to know which path they are taking so I can take a different route. It's absolutely ridiculous what some folks try to get away with. And, both locations provide tie down rope, free.

Yeah, many years ago when I worked in a retail lumber yard, we had customers who would buy a few sheets of plywood and then ask if we had any twine so they could tie it to the roof of their Oldsmobile.

It wasn't inconvenience. He got bored.

He stole that line from senator Everett McKinley Dirksen. Surely you remember him.

quote Originally posted by williegoat: He stole that line from senator Everett McKinley Dirksen. Surely you remember him.

I thought it started as a "million" (I didn't connect it with Senator Dirksen) and eventually became a "billion" and more recently a "trillion."

But now I have resorted to Google and the authenticity of that tagline and whether or not it can literally be credited to Senator Dirksen becomes more clouded:

“A Billion Here, a Billion There”
The Dirksen Congressional Center
https://dirksencenter.org/r...n-here-billion-there

quote The chief evidence in support of Dirksen making the statement comes from people who claim to have heard him. The Library of Congress, for example, cites someone's personal observation on the campaign trail as evidence. The Dirksen Center has received calls from people who heard Dirksen say those words, some even providing the date of the event. But cross-checking that information with the records has, so far, turned up nothing in the way of confirmation.

quote Update, January 15, 2009. We received a call from someone in Pennsylvania who recalled a very clear, even emphatic memory of Senator Dirksen uttering this famous phrase on the “Johnny Carson Show.” This is the second person who shared such a recollection. Unfortunately, a Google search failed to turn up confirmation—apparently the “official” Web site for the “Tonight Show” has video beginning only in 1969—Dirksen died in September of that year. Update, September 25, 2012. Historian John Steele Gordon concurs with the January 15, 2009, update. He also recalls Dirksen making the statement on Johnny Carson’s show. With regard to the lack of hard documentation authenticating the phrase, Gordon writes, “But I really don’t see a historiographical problem here. It’s long been attributed to Senator Dirksen and several people, including myself, remember him saying it at the same time and the same place. For this historian, at least, that’s good enough.”

There are statements on record from Senator Dirksen that are close--statements that support the notion that there was a moment when Dirksen said "A billion here, a billion there and pretty soon you're talking about real money"--but his words on that occasion were not recorded in print, and if they were recorded on camera, the video recording of it has not (yet) been discovered.

From a few years back..nominated as one of the dumbest headlines ever...

One for Blackrams

Watch for the ka-boom!

My friend Leroy:

Leroy walked into work Monday mornin' and his boss asked "hey Leroy, where'd you get those two shiners, you get in a fight over the weekend?"
Leroy says "nope, happened in church yesterday.
You know Mrs. Brown, she's a big woman and sittin' in front of me." Boss...."yeah, she's about as tall layin' down as she is standing up.
So what happened?" Leroy...."all was going good 'til we had to stand up for some praying, that's when I notice Mrs. Brown's dress was sorta stuck up in her butt crack about 2-3 inches. So, being the gentleman that I am I didn't want to embarrass her by pointing it out so I just pulled her skirt out.
Well....Mrs. Brown turned around and hit me really hard. That's when I figured, judging by her reaction, that she wanted it left there so I put it back!"

Some folks have to learn things the hard way I guess.
