Flat-bed with a side of bacon

For the longest time S. confused IDOT with IHOP. When he'd see an IDOT (Illinois Department of Transportation) tow truck pulled over on the highway, he'd wonder at the strangeness and the beauty of middle America, where stranded travelers are rescued by the famous purveyors of breakfast confections. And wouldn't the world be just a little bit nicer if that were true? The stranded, the broken down, the rear-ended. God knows we could use some pancakes with that tire iron.

That's sweet. Though they'd be sued for spreading obesity if they did rush out (like drug dealers):
:D

True. No doubt they'd be required to carry defibrillators, and perhaps even to distribute pedometers along with the syrup.
