Just couldn't fit

Crazy traffic this morning. Backed up for hundreds of metres. I was wondering why everyone suddenly decided to take MY route to work this morning, until i read this article on the age.

Notable quotes are:
An oversized truck ripped out electrical cables and overhead signs the length of the Burnley tunnel this morning, forcing the closure of two lanes and major delays to peak hour city traffic.

and
The truck's load damaged 14 overhead safety signs as the driver continued through the tunnel just after 6am, CityLink spokesman Craig Little said.

and
Mr Little said a warning bar outside the tunnel should have alerted the truck driver to the height specifications.


Reminds of the shirts I ordered from the US that just got delivered yesterday. Wayyyy to small. I tried them on last night, hoping they'd fit. I ordered the size Small, thinking that because everything in the U.S. was bigger, perhaps this would actually be too big for me.

Wrong. Too small! They're small shirts are much smaller than small shirts here in Aussie land. I'm gonna have to order some more in because the designs on them are just too cool not to try and order again.

I'm just glad I didn't smack anyone's face or take down any signs trying to sqeeze into the shirts. :)
