Webster County, MO—After overturning, a t-shirt toting tractor-trailer spilled its load on Interstate 44 blocking the westbound lanes with garments imprinted with witty phrases emblazoned in a variety of interesting and hard-to-read fonts.
The Missouri Department of Transportation reported finding thousands of shirts with messages proclaiming, “That’s What She Said”, “What Wouldn’t Jesus Do?” and “Camping Is In-Tents”. One witness, Jeremy Pain, said, “There were busted tees everywhere, it was a t-shirt hell for sho’. In fact, I hadn’t seen hat many t-shirts on the ground since spring break ’08!”
A passing motorist, Kyle Trots, said, ”guess it is shirtless o’clock already today,” ripping off his upper garment and tossing into the back seat of his car pumping his fists into the air.
Bernie Frutenhump, the driver of the rig, said, “I was scared shirtless. (The 18-wheeler) rolled on. Eighteen wheeler rolled on over causing a massive t-shirt traffic jam.”
MoDOT expects the clean up effort to continue for several hours due to the large amount of funny and semi-funny shirts. MoDOT plans to sort the shirts according to humor level. Frutenhump said he would give the shirt off his back to avoid the accident, not fully grasping the irony in his comment.
