> Sometimes the most innocent thing causes a big wreck. The other day a guy flipped a cigarette butt out the window of his car and it landed in the lap of a driver going the other way. While he was taking care of that situation, he wandered into my lane causing me to lock up the brakes to avoid hitting him head on. Somehow, he managed to get back into his lane, but unfortunately the driver behind me drove off the road to miss me and hit a boat that was sitting on a trailer next to the lake. The boat burst into flames and burning gasoline ran down into the water and set several other boats on fire. Meanwhile a trucker got so interested in the fire, he lost control of his rig and turned over in the shallow water next to the burning boats. The flames set the truck on fire and as he ran for cover, his load of popcorn exploded. Pop corn rained down like snow and a mule in a pasture across the road saw it and froze to death. Would I lie to you?

Howard, I thought we had both heard about the same accident until I got to the end of your story. The way I recall hearing it didn't involve a mule in a pasture. I recall that it was a dairy cow & the explosion prompted the immediate release of a bucket of fresh milk. The farmer, standing conveniently nearby, churned the milk into butter which was immediately applied to the popcorn. The popcorn was eaten by all the drivers that would inevitably be stuck in the traffic caused by the accident for hours.

I must have heard about a different accident.
