On my way to work today, I’m driving up the Ryan in the middle lane. In the right lane is a flatbed ford F450, a biggish work truck, loaded with ladders and scaffolding and towing this ridiculously small trailer on which is a portajohn. The truck has 16″ split rims, dually on the rear, and the trailer has these little 8″ tires like you’d expect to find on a small wheelbarrow. The portajohn and the trailer it’s on are bouncing along like a toy. <\/p>\n
I’m about ten car lengths back, attempting to pay attention to my driving as I notice the portajohn is not nearly as well attached to the trailer as it might be, and seems, in fact, to be holding on by a mere bungee cord. One final deep (typical, really, for Chicago) pothole, and the portajohn flies off.<\/p>\n
Less than two seconds behind the trailer is a semi, which makes contact with the portajohn just about as it hits the ground, and it explodes like an egg just hit with a baseball bat. It’s apparently been in use a while, becuase green deodorant enzyme, clumps of turds, and wads of used asswipe are strewn over the road. Cars are hitting it and skidding and swerving. I manage to change lanes before I get to that spot, and avoid being showered, but even in the truck with my windows rolled up, I can smell the pine scented shit for miles. <\/p>\n
Yes, I can crapblog without being personally involved.<\/p>\n
Now, imagine the truck driver arriving on the jobste without the crapper? Imagine the drivers behind filing the insurance claim? Imagine the mechanic who must next change that semi’s oil?<\/p>\n
