So I ride up to my house this evening and I see a guy has his minivan in my front yard. i have a ditch that runs across my yard between the grass and the street. somehow he's backed up into my yard, the front end is physically sitting on the street and the 2 front wheels (the drive wheels) are about 4 inches off the bottom of the ditch.
I tell him he needs to call a tow truck, but he wants to call his friend using my cell phone. okay, go ahead, I say. So his friend comes over, has 6 more guys with him and 2 long 2x4s. they propped the boards under the tires and lifted the front end up and got him unstuck.
I held the flashlight [clap]
wow.
did he explain?
He was trying to do a 3 point turn apparently. He just barely missed hitting the yellow/black striped warning sign in the ditch.
That would have had FAIL written all across it.
Glad it wasn't anything serious. Like the time I came home from band practice and there was a guy in my front yard w/ a shotgun.

And you told a cliffhanger that went nowhere and took 3 days to tell.
I know, I know, some things should have died with TOB. ;D
Having been in a similar position, I can appreciate your cool.
I've become much more paranoid in my "old" age. Good on ya' for "helping." [thumbsup]
without pics it never happened.
That ditch sounds like a good way to keep people from driving into your house. Maybe I should build one.

Sounds like my ex describing sex w/ me. It just drags on and on and there's never any climax.
Next time I'll just put a bullet in the mothermake the beast with two backser and post pics. [laugh]
That's disappointing.
I clicked on this thread fully expecting to read about a dude taking a dump in your yard.
[laugh]

Me too! [thumbsup]
My one neighbor was drunk and drove across his yard and into the side of my car one night.
When I went out there, his first words were, "It's no big deal."
How I didn't end up killing him on the spot astounds me.

So you're saying you killed him later?
