Today a spill large enough to create a sheen on the water is sufficient to call in the EPA.

Diesel will soften the asphalt and force them to replace it. I’m sure thats worth a million dollars in fines. 5 whole gallons is hugh and series.

I don’t drink a large amount of beer. When I do it certainly isnt going to be bud or bud light.

Yeah, and I learned, after 9/11 when I worked at Wamu that powdered sugar from a donut spilled on an office carpet is enough to call the HAZMAT team. :-)

Yeah, they evacuated a 15+ story building over doughnut sugar.

That’s the problem. The laws themselves cry wolf so much that you just stop respecting them - even if they really matter. Heck, around here people pour their used motor oil in the dirt around the poles of their pole barns to protect the wood.

“I’m sure that the diesel fuel helped improve the blandness of Bud Light.”

It’s now being bottled as Bud Dark.....

Passers by were discouraged from dropping off their unconsumed Bud light, as they realized they now had MORE than a truck load to remove.

Loose gravel my ass. Too fast for the curve. I have driven it myself in my rig a hundred times in 17 years. A beer load requires especial attention when maneuvering do to the slosh factor and high c.g.

As to the Bud Light I can’t vouch for that. When I choose to drink I only drink Boulevard Wheat or Pale Ale.

“Beer and diesel fuel spilled...”

First I thought “ruined good beer.” Then I heard it was Bud Light and thought “ruined good diesel.”
