    Default Truck Driver

    John, from Munruben, was driving down the road behind an 18 wheeler.
    At every stoplight the trucker would get out of the cab, run back and bang on the trailer door.

    After seeing this at several intersections in a row
    John followed him until he pulled into a parking lot.

    When they both had come to a stop the truck driver once again jumped
    out and started banging on the trailer door.
    John went up to him and said, "I don't mean to be nosey but why do you keep banging on that door?"

    To which the trucker replied, "Sorry, can't talk now, I have 20 tons
    of canaries and a 10 ton limit, I have to keep half of them in the
    air all the time!"

    On a serious note, would the truck weigh 10 tons with half the canaries in flight or still weigh 20 tons.

    It is a pity that both of you lack a sense of humour - woe be society

    Rodgera hecklers come in all shapes and sizes but facts are facts which help make the joke or kill it.

    Now seeing an 18 wheeler pulled over by a cop & RTA some years ago, truck stacked high with what looked like a heavy over height load of white blocks. They pulled out the scales measured him up and found he was 1/2" under the height limit and weight just a couple of ton over empty weight. Carrying solid foam blocks which looked like besser bricks.

    Mean while a bloke driving a low loader passed by with a big cat D10 and a 2" full length full width slab of steel under the D10 over weight by 5 ton.

    Hi Rodger,

    An "oldie" but a "goodie".

    Still worth a giggle.
