One Thing You Shouldn’t Forget to do When Driving a Dump Truck

by admin January 29, 2010 11:44 AM

For those readers out there looking to begin a career in dump truck driving, please learn a lesson from this Turkish man who thought it was OK to drive with the dumper in the “up” position.  Amazingly, nobody was killed in this accident (nobody specifically referring to the pedestrian that is seen on the collapsing bridge), and only one person was injured (presumably, said pedestrian). 

We’ve seen cases of bridges that are not truck-friendly, but this is more a matter of a truck causing more destruction than most of the Transformers cast.  If only Michael Bay were there to have caught this on film, he probably could’ve shaved a few million off what is sure to be the third installment of the Transformers franchise.

Down the Stretch They Come!

necknneck Heading into the final weekend of voting in the 2nd annual Do The Jingle contest, The Pinnell Dancers and Lady Rerun are running neck n’ neck as we head to the finish line.  As of this articles posting time, the Pinnell Dancers were holding onto a four vote lead in the Top 20

As everyone familiar to this contest knows, no lead is safe, as these two contestants have demonstrated that they have passionate and dedicated fan bases, willing to vote every hour to ensure their favorite entry is the winner.  It all comes down to the next few days, as the dancers from Columbus, Ohio look to edge out the singer/actress/radio host from Atlanta, Georgia.

There’s no telling who will pull it out and win the opportunity to star in an upcoming SafeAuto Insurance commercial, but there is no doubt that each of these contestants is worthy of being the next star.

Keep visiting the Do The Jingle site and registering your vote as you can decide who the next winner will be.  Every vote counts!
