    When one van isnt enough..

    I kid you not, this is what is being towed behind the van of a local exterminator with the words "Trailer in Tow" spray-painted on the back of it.

    How can you be taken seriously by pulling up to somone's house with this?

    It took a while but i was able to find that guy again. He's a landscaper and keeps the big lawnmower (amongst other things) in the towed van.

    I wonder what the law is for that. Living in NJ I thought to myself, if that guys lived here that would never fly. THen to see he is in Edison shocked me. Interesting to say the least.
    Gotta have the right tool for the job!

    Do all the signal lights work on it? if so, he may be ok. I bet the main van has a hard time pulling it up hill as well as his stopping distance is tripple.

    It reminds me of the movie "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" when John Candy tells the cop.........."I know it doesn't look like much officer, but it runs fine and the radio still works, believe it or not".

    I was wrong, he's not an exterminator-he's a landscaper! Wouldnt you trust him to make your property look beautiful?

    The mere presence of that makes everything around it look beautiful, even the dog crap shines with a lovely glow in it's shadow. What more could you ask?

    From the looks of the front van he can get another one and tow doubles soon.
    Never argue with a crazy man.

    Awesome....takes me back to the 70s and High School---only thing missing is an airbrushed mural and shag carpet...
    (The wise men of modern thought) adore a god made of putty or of wax - plastic, effeminate, molluscous, with no masculine faculty about him, and no quality that entitles him to the respect of just and honest men, for a being who cannot be angry at wrongdoing is destitute of one of the essential virtues, and a moral Ruler who is not angry with the wicked, and who refuses to punish crime, is not divine. ---Spurgeon
