—”couldn’t get out of the way of a YUGE maintenance vehicle ?”
In my misspent youth, I briefly worked at a vehicle maintenance facility.
Friday evenings after closing was a social period, and at some point, someone would shout “Friday Night Race”!
Everyone would run to the dispatch office and grab a random key from the wall. Then run to the lot looking for the vehicle...The first one to make a lap of the parking lot gets free pizza that night.
Many of the cars/trucks are NOT operational; just like some of the participants.
I could easily believe that some wildlife was lost in the game.
Yeah ... we did that in the motor pool in Korea .... but owls are not hanging around on the ground.
