A truck driver saw a sign ahead of him that said, “low bridge ahead” Before he new it, the bridge was right in front of him and he got stuck. Cars were backed up for miles. Finally, a police car arrived. The officer got out of the car and walked around the truck and put his hands on his hips and said "Got stuck huh?"
"No the truck driver replied" ''''I was delivering this bridge and ran out of gas.
