How to shut down an interstate

I live about a mile from exit 71 at I16 and rumor around here is that the driver was receiving oral sex and whoever was providing it accidently hit the "extend" lever and the dump bed caught the bridge. It shifted the bridge deck over 6.5 feet, truck help going before coming to a climatic end. Happened about 1 am the other morning. There is not much on this interstate so maybe they got bored. Who knows.

shut down I16

I'm thinking this falls into the same category as texting?

Snickering at "coming to a climatic end".

Weird, weird stuff. I tried getting it once while driving, total drag. Just could not get into it, could not relax.

I was caught in that mess on the way to Chattanooga. Huge mess. The bridge has now been taken down. They say a few weeks to replace.

I don't think they got any plans to replace anytime soon. No entrance nor exit and only about 200 cars/day on county road that used bridge.

Did it in my much younger days. Less traffic then.

One day a friend and I were headed to Chicago on business on I 65 north. We were doing ten over and a young man whizzed by us in a Camaro. It appeared his girl friend was giving him some oral action too. I made a comment to my friend about it.

A few miles on we found them stuck on the guardrail (one of those that comes up out of the ground at an angle guarding a concrete support column) with the high end up. The driver looked kindof disoriented but uninjured.

We chuckled and drove on by.

It is really not recommended to combine driving with sex.

The Interstates are almost shut down a daily basis due to the enormous number of 18 wheelers that insist on running side by side. One of the big reasons for this is that the railroads were so poorly managed in recent years that shippers gave up and started shipping by motor freight.

Ain’t that the truth. Nothing clogs up the roads and all lanes on the highways like a convoy.
