Sounds like he was on a good run but should have shifted into gear number two before he dropped his load.

hstein3: danno_to_infinity: 5 or 6 years ago, I was driving down Rte 101 from Manchester towards the Seacoast region. A stake bed truck (flat bed with what looks like picket fencing for sides) had two gaylords of toilet paper fall off the back, and they were scattered all over dawn's highway, bleeding. Hundreds of rolls, some of them still in motion as it happened on a sizable incline. As I was in queue waiting to drive past the scene, a couple rolls ran under my tires. For some reason, the second grader in me started laughing and laughing. I was still chortling with mirth several miles past the scene.

/don't know if ghosts crowded my fragile eggshell mind

Since when is a gaylord a unit of measure?

/Are they metric?

Not so much a unit of measure as they are a giant cardboard box. They are used (at least at my former job) to hold and transport recyclable waste.

At least there was no excuse to leave any skid marks.

We used to get enormous amounts of feminine hygiene products in gaylords. I think the Army uses them in constructing outposts and other non-permanent buildings. I think the Captain in Restrepo talked about using Gaylords to build OP Restrepo.

Restrepo is a very good documentary about Afghanistan.

If only there was some sort of modified wooden roller...

What's the over-under on this happening again?

Driver didn't give a crap about his load.

It's a pallet container about the size of your mom.

So, what are they going to use to clean up all that shiat?

fnordest: A Non Amos: If I was to be blocked by a crashed toilet-paper truck, I would: make a duct tape lasso take free toilet paper drive off road with my Jeep thank you goodbye.

Huh?

English-language version: "Were I present during such an occurrence as described in TFA, I would gather up a large quantity of the liberated bathroom tissue, affix it together with a banding containment fashioned of HVAC sealing adhesive tape or similar durable but flexible material, then make my escape with the cargoes thereby purloined by means of an off-road vehicle capable of evading the road obstruction caused by such accident. And I would express my appreciation while doing so."

What do you do when you're stranded
And you don't have a roll?

To prove you're a man
You must wipe with your hand

Veered off the poop chute route.

I wish that thing wrecked in front of my house yesterday. I've been pissing out of my arse for a day now. Feels like food poisoning.

OH, endangered SPECIES.............NEVER MIND

Thank you Gilda Radner aka Emily Lattela

Ok, i'm decently blessed with intelligence.

I usually get all the puns, even if i do read them a couple times to remember the reference, or poor reading comprehension.

but, this one i don't see at all.

Help the temporarily stupid person. where's the pun in the headline.

There's no pun in the headline. It was an invitation to supply your own. Leaving this thread satisfied.

Since this is still open as of now: Thank you for the clarification. I confuse myself sometimes.
