Driving around the other day I found myself next to a U-haul truck on the highway. I couldn't help contemplating how convenient a "How's my driving?" sticker would be on this bad boy's bumper- Oh how I'd relish a call that would slap this guy with an extra fine when he dropped the weaving mobile home off in Tallahassee!
I let the scene play out in my mind as I made my way around him, and that's when this caught my eye:
It's only natural for a reader/person-who-likes-to-know-things to be sucked in by the phrase
"Did you Know. . ."
And that started my mind on something else:
What in the world were these people thinking
putting whole paragraphs of interesting, little known facts on the side of moving trucks?! Did they somehow miss that it's just that- a moving truck? Putting a less-than-skilled 'home trucker' behind the wheel wasn't enough of a threat, they decided to draw the well-intentioned 10 and 2 public into a wild-wheeled trivia game that would have whole cities weaving like a bunch of drunks at a demolition derby.
Oh, and how 'bout making the print really small- just to keep things interesting.
That's one hazardous game of Jeopordy- "I'll take deadly maneuvers for 1000, Alex!"
Luckily, this thread of thought took me away from the side of the truck in time to notice the bull moose closing in and the bulk of a 2 to 3-bedroom only inches from my side mirror.
I'm thinking some poor aspiring eye doctor that flunked out of optometry school
eventually found his calling as a graphic artist for U-Haul,
and this is his way of 'sticking it to the man'.

No kidding! That is so funny. I also loved the store from the previous post. And people invest TONS of money into their business. Someone should've told them!
