Big Rig Hauling Tea & Glue Tears Open Along Pennsylvania Turnpike
NBC 10 Philadelphia ^ | July 21, 2015 | Dan Stamm

Posted on 08/10/2015 8:14:00 PM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

A tractor-trailer hauling glue and loose tea overturned along the Pennsylvania Turnpike Tuesday morning.

The big rig wrecked around 9:15 a.m. on the ramp from the eastbound Turnpike (I-276) to the Northeast Extension (I-476) in Plymouth Township Montgomery County, said state police.

The 26-year-old driver luckily escaped with only a non-life-threatening hand laceration, said police.

The force of the crash caused the trailer to crack as it came to a stop on its side along the grassy shoulder. As SkyForce10 hovered overhead a short time after the wreck, traffic slowly got by as crews worked to right the rig.

Police said it could take hours to finally clean up the crash.

There has to be a joke in there. Shipment of glue to the tea party was lost?

Let's have a Tea Party, cover all the GOPe candidates with glue and tea and put them on the nearest Railroad out of town.

Overheard at the scene...”I loved that truck, it really stuck to the road.”

Donald Trump was the driver. He was supposed to be the glue that kept the Tea Party together and had a mishap when a Fox ran across the road in front of him.

Gives “sticks to your ribs” a whole new meaning.

The fox who ran in front of him was female, a vixen.

How about a song instead:

(ahem)

Tea for glue...and glue for tea.

A vixen who likes the spotlight.

At least it wasn’t beer or bee hives.

Just pick the appropriate definition of vixen:

Vixen- a female fox. : an angry and unpleasant woman. : a sexually attractive woman

I hope the driver is OK — I’ve heard mixed reports: he took one lump, or maybe two.

“hauling glue and loose tea”

An unusual combination of cargos.
