hey, it’s only due to the efforts of workin’ man pro-labor Democrats like John Murtha that we were able to secure Federal Funding to have raccoon painting jobs in Johnstown.

I’ve travelled through a lot of states and PA seems to have the most dead varmits on the highway. Arkansas, with all those dead ‘dillos, might be a distant second ...

That’s not a raccoon, it’s a possum. And it’s not recent.

Back in the 80’s, when I first started to drive I remember that the city crew painted around a dead animal and it took a few weeks to get it straightened out, figuratively and literally..

Please review the remainder of the thread. I clearly stated that I was not trying to pass off that photo as being related.

The one I’m thinking of couldn’t have been more than a couple of years ago. This is turning into a traditional stunt.

Texas has its' share of armadillo road kill.

That road paint really tends to ruin the flavor though.

Oh I have a much better Union story than that.

Many years ago I worked as a engineer for a defense contractor that had union laborers (the engineers were not unionized, so you can eliminate Boeing for your speculations).

After finishing up work on a project and getting transfer to a new project, an engineer friend of mine was being moved to his new location in a trailer on the opposite end of the plant (over half a mile away). Upon arriving at his new location he noticed that the movers had forget his telephone, so he called up the riggers and scheduled them to move his phone.

Hours later, his phone arrived. sitting by itself on a pallet, being moved by a forklift, with two riggers walking beside the forklift.

And the Union drones wondered why the engineers hated working with them.

(BTW, in case anyone is wondering why my friend didn’t just go get the phone himself, it’s because he would have gotten written up for it and him and his manager would have gotten in trouble and his project would have had to pay whatever outrageous charge the Union claimed was rightfully theirs for moving the phone.)
