Commuters on 696 near Orchard Lake Road this morning faced a rather unusual delay after a truck carrying a load of pumpkins dropped it’s cargo all over the freeway. Witnesses said that hundreds and hundreds of the orange gourds covered the street and ended up smashed by passing motorists. The area was closed down briefly while snow plow equipment was brought in to scoop up the pulverized pumkins.
- The Obama Adminstration said it was another example of a “shovel ready job”.
- The man driving the truck has been identified as a “Mr. Jack O. Ass”.
- At first motorists thought the pumpkins were orange construction cones until they realized there were actually crews WORKING there!
