I must have a MILLION stories (a SURE sign I'm old), here's a moving story:

I was moving my Niece from Minneapolis/St. PauL back to the Chicago area. I had a pickup truck (so I was the "go-to" guy for moves). It was filled up ridiculously high, however we had a tarp over the contents and I had threaded rope through grommets in the tarp and the side rails on the pickup bed. Looked tidy to me.

So halfway home I began to think something was up because no cars had passed me for miles and miles. I was in the right lane of a superhighway -- Where are all the speeders? I looked in the rearview mirror and ... The closest car was nearly a mile back. That's odd, traffic wasn't THAT light.

Then, I saw it. A brief flash of a rope dangling behind the truck. Oops! I pulled over and ... the rope had almost entirely unwound! It was dragging nearly a hundred feet behind the truck! NO WONDER nobody would come near us! :D
