Evidently Beetlejuice lives in N. Dakota and drives a truck:
A semi driver whose truck rolled on its side, dumping a load of specialty sunflower seeds, says it happened when he tried to check on a couple of doughnuts.Merv Bontrager of Milo said he looked away briefly from an off-ramp on which he was driving Tuesday morning and ended up rolling his rig on the southeast edge of Minot.
It seemed to happen in slow motion, he said.
"I just looked down briefly on the floor where I had thrown a couple of doughnuts I was going to eat later, to see where they had landed," Bontrager said.
"It was too late. I couldn't bring it (the truck) back, and started going over. That's all it took," he said.
Try not to eat unclean food if you can help it. I think the worst I've encountered was during a second scoop into a box of Ritz Bits. I came up with part of what looked to be the head from my elementary school janitor's string mop. My curiosity piqued, I checked inside the box for an elderly black man carrying a bag of Vomsorb, but found only more mop head and about a half a box-worth of dirty Ritz Bits, only a few of which were salvageable.

Posted by: csason at April 19, 2007 01:57 PMNo five second rule on the donuts, 10 to life for trying to mess with Donnah. ;p

I think you should be nicer to your cleaning lady.
This was when I lived in Gainesville. It was a freshly-opened box too. Strange. I suppose I could have sued Nabisco. You can tell how the incident has haunted my life.

It seemed like a promising career but he screwed up and went on to become a doctor. He tells a colorful story about blowing his nose after working a full shift in the factory.
