It started out as a normal workday for Hassan Ware of Bolingbrook IL, just hauling a truckload of pig ears, pig feet, and pig feet to... well, you know how you're not supposed to think about what goes into a hot dog? Right. Anyway, we assume the ICC was a-checkin' on down the line, and Mr. Ware was probably a little overweight and his log book was way behind. As a result of his attempts to dodge the scales all right, his truck full of savory porcine portions tipped over on the Edens Expressway outside Chicago, coating three lanes of the roadway with a hard-to-clean-up gooey mess. – Murilee Martin
