Just Had to, Um, "Link" to This Story

I’m a weekly subscriber to “This is True.” Just had to, um, "link" to this one:

THIS is TRUE: 26 July 2009 Copyright http://www.thisistrue.com

FRANKLY, A FREAK ACCIDENT: When Nick Krupp arrived at his home and saw that his house was severely damaged, he called the police. The responding officer knew what had happened. "He said, 'Man, you're not going to believe this even if I tell you'," Krupp said. Two women driving the 23-foot-long Oscar Mayer "Wienermobile" had crashed into his house. The women were heading to a public appearance for the hot-rodding hotdog when they made a wrong turn onto a dead-end street. The driver pulled into Krupp's driveway and the other woman got out to help her back up and turn around, but the driver hit the gas in forward, not reverse, and slammed the supercharged sausage into Krupp's house, located in Mt. Pleasant, Wisc. -- a suburb of Racine and just south of (yes!) Franksville. The foundation, deck, and garage door of Krupp's house suffered significant damage. One of the women "was almost starting to cry," a neighbor said. "She was getting emotional." (Racine Journal Times) ...Actually, her exact words were "This is the wurst day of my life!"
