RUN AWAY DESK ! HAS THIS EVER HAPPEN TO YOU ?

A FUNNY LITTLE STORY !
THIS PAST SUNDAY WHILE TAKING THINGS TO RESET MY BOOTH AT HERITAGE SQUARE ANTIQUE MALL WE HAD A LITTLE THING HAPPEN !
WE PACKED MY SUV FULL AND MY HUBBYS TRUCK FULL EVERYTHING STRAPPED DOWN ( SO WE THOUGHT ) I TOOK THE BACK ROADS WHILE THE HUBBY TOOK THE FREEWAY ( I TOLD HIM NOT TO BUT, MEN ,HE DID NOT LISTEN !!!! )
WHILE GOING ABOUT 65 OR 70 DOWN THE FREEWAY HIS TAILGATE FLEW OPEN AND OUT CAME A SWEET FRENCH STYLE DESK ! MY HUBBY SAW IT GO SO HE PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT THE DESK ON ITS TOP WENT FLYING PAST HIM SO HE HAD TO GO TO TRY TO CATCH UP WITH IT !!!!!!!! WHILE HE WAS TELLING ME THIS ON THE PHONE I COULD NOT HELP BUT LAUGH JUST THE PICTURE OF THE DESK FLING PAST HIM ON THE FREEWAY :o
IT DID NOT HURT THE DESK JUST A FEW LITTLE MARKS BUT THAT JUST ADDS TO ITS VINTAGE LOOK !
HAS ANYTHING LIKE THAT EVER HAPPENED TO YOU ?

    Luckily no one was behind him and hit another car! Men always know best don't they? They think they do anyway! Have a great day!~Hugs, Patti

    You are lucky. We had a washer machine lid come of during a move 16 years ago. Didn't even know it. (tape them down with duct tape) That's scarey. My husband is the king of ropeing. Says he never loses anything Except.... So when I see a car with lots of junk packed I stay far behind just in case. judy

    Oh my, that is hysterical - can't wait to see the picture of the desk. Very fortunate there were no cars close that could have been "hit" by the flying desk.

    Oh, my gosh, that is so funny! It's like something that would happen to Laurel and Hardy or The Little Rascals!
