I had a similar experience, one time many years ago, i was coming down out of buffalo,NY with a load of empty glass bottles, got on 390 down towards binghampton,NY it was snowing/freezing rain (slick as goose shit!) i decided to shut down till it got better, pulled into the T/A in dansville,NY i was sitting in the truck drinking coffee, when the guy across from me (about 600 LBS.) decided to climb down out of his double bunk cabover freightliner. He made it to the ground,took a few "baby steps" then wham!!!!! busted his ass but good! i thought that was the funniest thing i ever saw! i laughed my ass off! well, after drinking about 1/2 gallon of coffee, it was my turn, i was running my F-model at the time, opened the door, climbed down very carefully, took my foot off the last step, touched the ground, turned around to walk inside, i did'nt take 2 steps, then BAM!!!!!! my ass hit the ground! next thing i knew i was looking at fuel tank/ driveshaft! knocked the wind outta' me! learned a valuable lesson that day, NEVER LAUGH AT SOMEBODY ELSES MISFORTUNE! next time it could be you getting laughed at!!!.........Mark
