A raccoon in southwest Florida was in for a wild ride this week after it managed to hang on to the top of a Wonder Bread delivery truck making its rounds for more than 16-miles. The delivery truck driver said the furry stowaway managed to ride on top of the truck for more than 16 miles at 55 mph.
The driver sounded the alarm with 911 once he realized his truck had a stowaway and sounded worried about the raccoon in audio of the call released by WBBH-TV.
Dispatcher: "911, what is your emergency?" Driver: "Yeah, I didn't know who to call, but I have a raccoon on top of my bread truck....and everyone has been beeping me on the street telling me, you got something up there!" Driver: "I got out of the truck and I look up and there's a raccoon up there." Driver: "He's scared. I didn't know who to call." Dispatcher: "All right, we'll go ahead and get someone out there to help you, OK?" Driver: "OK, you're the best. Thank you."
Rocket Raccoon _needed_ that truck to guard the galaxy!
Are they sure it wasn’t Eric Holder?
Ahhhhhh......
The new Disney World ride.
He was just trying to build a strong body in 12 ways.
That was the Frito Bandido and he picked the wrong truck.
This totally tickled me because we have three pet raccoons. Their names are: Jennifer Cooniston, George Cooney and Rocket. ;)
We also have a Beagle who rode all the way into town (at 70 MPH!) on the back of Beau’s work trailer. He was at a stop light and the guy in the next car over said, “Dude! You have a DOG on your trailer!”
It is a MIRACLE that he made that trip without falling off! We still have him, 5 years later, though we now check ALL vehicles for stowaways when we leave home. ;)
Surf’s up in Florida!
What was it he said about "his people"?
What was it he said about "his people"?
We had a man in the neighborhood who was a Hostess driver when I was a kid.
The biggest thrill of our lives was the day he let us neighborhood kids raid his truck.
I’m pretty sure he was fired soon thereafter, LOL!
It’s a Wonder that raccoon was able to stay up on top for 16 miles!
Which is worse....a tiger in your tank or a raccoon on your roof?
He did it on a dare. He needed the bread!
In the ‘50s I loved those Hostess 2 pack cupcakes, applesauce was my favorite. :^)
Lol
We never had anything good like that happen.
One time a snowplow truck broke down in our neighborhood.
The driver told me I could have as much snow as I wanted.
I put a couple of kids snow boots sticking up out of the pile of snow in front of his plow.
He was standing behind his truck and I told him I couldn’t find my friend Larry and he was just here.
I see you’re posting as Rodney Dangerfield tonight! ;)
