Day of Traffic

So this morning, I'm ready to leave and the news says that there's an over turned garbage truck in the road on my way to work. "Great!" Says I. Traffic starts slowing down but never completely to a halt but you could smell the garbage long before you were at the wreck. How gross!

If that's not odd enough for you, read on.

On my way HOME from work, I could barely get onto the interstate because it was so jammed. I called Brooks and asked if he had heard anything or was this just normal 4 o'clock traffic. Without missing a beat, my lovely husband's reply was, "oh, I bet it's dead chickens." Ummm....what? Dead chickens? There's dead chickens on the road?!
Yes, there was yet another wreck today. This time a truck carrying dead, plucked chickens was going too fast around a curve and swung all of it's cargo onto the road. Hazmat had to come out and hose the area down b/c of the risk of sal manila. I mean really. Is someone worried a driver might stop their car at that exact location, lick the road and get sick?

To read more info about the wreck, read on: The Tennessean
My favorite line is the article about the wreck is: "It's fowl!"

Which reminds me, we need a few jokes & puns. Help me add to these.

What did the chicken say when he tried to cross the road in Nashville?
SPLAT!

Who let the chickens out?
The driver did. The driver did.

The wreck could have been tragic....if the cargo hadn't already been dead.

I-24 has temporarily turned into an all you can eat KFC - sushi style. Come while it lasts.

Ahhh... I could go on and on but I wont.
