Lady Driver Ran Over A Mattress On The Highway And Decided Not To Worry And Kept Driving.

The Ensuing Jumble Finally Whipped Around Enough to Tear A Hole In The Fuel Tank.

The Subsequent Lack Of Fuel Is What Finally Brought Her Vehicle To Its Knees.

She Had Still Managed To Drive 30 More Miles With A 60-Pound Tangle of Stuff Wrapped Around Her Drive shaft.

She Had It Towed To Her Dealership And Complained That The Vehicle Had A "Sort Of Shimmy When She Was Driving At High Speeds.


Below Are The Photos Of What They Found At Her Dealership.....................

When all is said and done and, as we all know, more is generally said than done, what else is a mistress, if not something between a mister and a mattress?

Ooh, Rolly, careful where you go with that one.
Bit political, or is that politically incorrect?
I'll sleep on it.

Doh Ducky!
Considering this began with an email someone sent to me, the imaginations have run riot.
I wouldn't have thought driving over a mattress could end up like that.
I try not to run over anything on the road, particular pieces of wood which could have nails.\
And I hope nothing runs over me.
