Actually, I'd be sitting there laughing with you. It's not our fault when God has a sense of humor and decides to express it through slapstick comedy. (I have often suspected his/hers/its sense of humor doesn't go much beyond the Keystone cops.)
Another silly highway story from when I was commuting in the Philadelphia area. My brother in law and I ended up stuck on the Blue Route in a huge traffic jam. When I turned on the radio the traffic report was saying "traffic is backed up for miles because a bread truck and a sausage truck have had a collision, spilling some of their contents on the road. The delay is being caused by police waiting for highway workers to clear the spills". After thinking about it for a while, I said, "gosh they don't need to get anyone to clean up the spill! All they have to do is quick put up a sign saying "free lunch!" and have people pick up a sausage and a bun on their way through and the mess will be cleaned up in no time." Sadly, this was in the era before cell phones and so I couldn't phone in my brilliant idea. :-)
