Butcher's Truck Magnet For 3 Cars
(PA.) AUCKLAND. This Day. Whistling in the crisp winter’s morning air a meat lorry driver was unloading carcases at a butcher’s shop in Eden Terrace today. Exchanging badinage with a shopkeeper he heard a terrific crash. “That’s my truck!" he shouted, and ran outside. The truck was massive, but the car that had hit it was not. They took the wrecked car away. But! as life must go on. especially basic industries, the lorry driver continued depositing carcases. There was another crash. “That’s my truck!” he shouted. They took another wrecked car away. The lorry driver carried on just like Pagliacci, but delivering meat instead of song. There was another crash. “That's my truck!” the lorry driver shouted. They took another wrecked car away. This time they nearly had to take the lorry driver away, too. Nobody was injured.
