It's not as common here in Tampa where I live now, but when I lived in South Florida (basically Fort Lauderdale / Miami area)... you get a lot of that stuff. Especially on the busy back-roads, or I-95. The crazy thing is that it's not even people harvesting the coconuts... it's just landscaping trucks that have trimmed up a coconut palm tree, and they dump all the **** into the back of a pick-up truck... and then head out on the highway without any nets or anything. So, coconuts sometimes fall off, and... well... haha... not a problem for most cars, but for a Fiero, that'll send you into a spin. It gets crazier in the outer parts of Ocala / Orlando area. You have large semi-trucks driving around local roads, filled to the top (overflowing) with oranges and grapefruits. When they make fast turns at intersections (keep in mind there are dozens of them every day going through the same routes), they'll usually lose a few dozen oranges that fly off the top and roll all over the intersection. I was going to the World Money Show once (at the Gaylord Palms), and we were at an intersection where a whole bunch fell off. I quickly grabbed one off the ground, and ran back to the car to eat as a snack before the light turned green. Hah...

Sounds like a Florida version of the James Bond mine-laying device. Atleast you can get free snacks out of the deal
