Thanks for the update Kym. Glad no-one was seriously hurt.
999 cases of beer on the truck… 999 cases of beer… You pull a case down, and open it up… 998 cases of beer on the truck. This could take all weekend!
Or longer depending on how toasty everyone gets…
Hey the road is already closed. Party time.
Wait a minute what type of Beer is it?
The bottles sounded empty to me. Phew!!!!
Not a Beer Truck. It looks like a Customer Truck Service Truck. Hauling a load of empty bottles. Dang there goes the party. He was definitely driving to fast.
a WHOLE truck load of spilled beer? THAT’S ALCOHOL ABUSE!!!
LOL
