How many Aggies does it take to....
It's around 3:15AM and I'm finally heading back to deposit my cab. I pull up in the bike lane next to a truck hauling a large iron grill. They were there for the week for a charity. Well the green light hits and I start across. I get to the other side when I hear an ungodly, bone racking noise from behind me. I turn and see the truck I was next to stopped in the intersection. Naturally, all things interesting this late at night grab my full attention; I have so little brain function left that I'm easily attracted to anything like a moth to a flame. The intersection is still green so I go back the way I came to see what the problem is. The grill had bounced off truck and the hitch was buried a good inch into the asphalt. As soon I realize this, every guy in a 100 foot radius does too and there is a mad rush get the grill back onto the truck and out of the intersection. Not a hard thing when theres a bunch of Aggies all ready to help. However. theres a problem with this grill, its still burning. Hot smoke is pouring out of every port that was jarred open. An iron grill isn't the pinnacle of engineering, and there for not air tight, snuffing out a fire just by shuttering it up takes a long time to work. While the support beam weren't hot, these guys still had to lean over and pick this thing up with out touching their faces to it. LOL. So as it turns out it takes 15 Aggies to reattach a trailer.
