[AT] History Exam, now kid memories

[John Hall]

 I wonder wass that about the time U-haul had so many Fords that kept 
breaking the rear wheel bolts from being overloaded? You wouldn't think 
furniture was that heavy.

 I think most anyone that has ever hauled  much of anything has, at some 
pont in time, way overloaded their truck, unintentionally of course. It's 
the idiots that repeadtedly do it that concern me. I don't care about them 
or their truck, just for the safety of the rest of us on the highway!
