"Reasons I was late for work"

This was sent to me in an email.

Quote:

A guy in St. Louis was driving to work when he heard a 'pop'. He thought it sounded like a flat tire, though his ride wasn't affected. After pulling over, checking the tires and finding them intact he opened the hood to look at the motor. Before the hood was even all the way open he jumped back in shock and knocked his head on the partially opened hood, unable to believe what his eyes were seeing! Nobody was going to believe this!....you sure wouldn't have either! Fortunately, a co-worker with a camera recognized him along side the road and stopped to see if he could help. Now, this has to be right up there at the top of the list of unusual but verified 'Reasons I was late for work'!!!!

Ahh he lost his "serpentine belt" That can be costly.
Reminds me of the penguin whose car was overheating, but that's a different thread.

Nice car, unlucky snake. Reminds me of when i was in the very much rural eastern portion of TN, our van was at some crazy old pet lady's house and she had millions of cats runnin around. Well one decided it would be nice and comfy to get away from the heat (it was a bright sunny day in the middle of summer) and sleep on the drive train or whatever its called under the van and well, you usually don't check for those kinds of things before you start a vehical. And the cat gone one wild ride before it was flung apart. Most hideous noise ever.
