Is this a contest......?

I once put 19 bundles (about 90#s per bundle) of asphalt roofing
shingles in the back of a brand new 1983 Saab 900 hatchback. (Company
Car) Stopped at 19 as that was all that would fit.

Needed them to re-roof on the weekend and the lumberyard screwed up the
delivery.

Only had to drive 15 miles.

I wonder where that car ever went.

Statue of limitations has run out but I hope my boss doesn't frequent
this group.
