Thank God for Camera Phones or... (Dodge vs Ford)
... you wouldn't believe me!!! 
I was driving up I45 through Dallas today around 5pm was approaching the 635 interchange. (For non Dallas dwellers bad traffic area at 5...) Traffic was worse than usual and I was starting to be late for a class. Got directly under 635 and noticed that a stalled truck pulling an empty flatbed was stalled in the Fast lane!! Deciding to do my good deed for the day I decided to try and stop and help. Did I mention I had my 20ft flat bed in tow as well?? 
Well I backed up to him and I found out it was a ford 6.NO that had just died, would crank over, but not even spitter.. I just so happened to have a strap with me, hooked up to the front of his truck and attached to the ball I have on the back on my goose for pulling doubles... Turned the flashers on and cut slowly across three lanes of traffic and on to the shoulder and finally to an exit... Proceeded to tow my trailer, him and his trailer to the local ford house bout 5miles down the road... I found it pretty funny, let me know what you think?? The guy was very nice and grateful, pulled out a $100 and tried to pay me, told him I just needed a picture and we were good....
You wouldn't have believed me without a pic would you??
