Yesterday our location got about 3-6 inches of snow. I park in the garage that's out in the alley and I have a low clearance car, plus the alley was awful, drifting snow making real tall drifts. Joe was off work yesterday, so he suggested I take the Toyota Tundra, it's got 4 wheel drive plus it's tall and easily can clear even fairly tall snow drifts.
Joe parks outside so I get all my sh*t, shoes, books, miscellanous stuff put them in the truck then start the engine, while it's warming up take a broom and brush off all the snow. It's a real tall truck so I have to reach way up. It also was 9 degrees so the windshield wipers were stuck and though I didn't notice the windshield wiper fluid was frozen and didn't come out after I pressed it.
So I'm working my way around the truck taking snow off and get to the driver's side. I must have had my mouth open when suddenly the wipers come unstuck and they squirt wiper fluid out INTO MY MOUTH. I swallowed some and it's terrible stuff. I jump back spitting and hit a chunk of ice and go SPLAT right on my arse and HARD!!!.
So now my arse hurts, I've swallowed wiper fluid which has anti-freeze in it and I'm covered w/snow. I turn everything off, throw the broom in the truck and stomp in madder than a wet hen.
Joe takes one look at me and starts laughing. I'm furious and I tell him I have a gun, you know, and I'm a good shot so shut up!!!
I call my boss who isn't in yet and explain I'm soaking wet, swallowed wiperfluid and have a bruised arse and if I did come in that day I might murder someone if they look at me wrong!
I wash my mouth out with flouride(sic) rinse drink a big glass of milk and Joe wisely walks gingerly around me the rest of the day! Even went out to get beer so I would chill.
It's funny now and I suffered no ill effects from the little anti-freeze laced wiper fluid I drank, but my arse has a huge bruise on it!
Not a fun morning at all! :mad
