More to the chicken story

  Apparently there is a backstory to the picture of the chicken in the back of the truck. It goes like this: one of the people on the day shift crew thought it was a great idea to put 4 buckets of chicken in the back of an open pickup truck. Our drive to work from the hotel is a pretty long one; taking anywhere from 35 minutes to an hour depending on traffic, weather, sliding big rig trucks or what have you. Its mostly freeway that goes through bumpy roads, up and down hills and switchback roads. So to me putting the chicken back there seemed like Iraq war planning but that's just my opinion.

  So on this day we had overlapping shifts, so they had two vehicles making the trip at the same time. We normal take our Chevy Captiva SUVs to work but if you seen our other post of the road going up the mountain to work, its really really bad and we've damaged just about everyone's SUV that's driven up. So now we're taking these pickup trucks that have a little bit more of a higher clearance from the road. Now since we're at work for atleast 12 hours, we all bring our backpacks with laptops/tablets, extra clothes because its still mid December at work and of course food. With the SUVs all the stuff can go in the back and its inside the vehicle but not so much with the pickups.

  So these gentlemen packed the pickup truck, the smart one put the 4 buckets of fried Popeye's chicken in bed of the truck and they took off for work. The pickup with the chicken was the lead vehicle for the day. Sometime along the drive, the driver of this truck started to notice white stuff flying out the back in his rearview mirror. He asked everyone in the truck what did they have in the back of the pickup. He than realized what he was seeing happened to be the napkins, forks and condements from the Popeye's bag. Since the smart one didn't cover the buckets, every thing went flying out. Shame. The poor guys in the second pickup not only had to avoid pot holes that look like ditches, non driving Americans/Turks who don't know what the lines in road are for, bus drivers who think they're driving race cars but also napkins and fried chicken. Needless to say they arrived at work with one half bucket and some left in the pickup bed....
