“Cheese fire shuts tunnel”
For six days so far!
The New York Times has a brief on the situation, the best part of which is this quote:
Kjell Bjoern Vinje at the Norwegian Public Roads Administration said this was the first time that cheese had caught fire on Norwegian roads since he joined the administration 15 years ago.
I hope that cheese was insured.
Burning cheese… The smell must have been awful…
Good point. On the other hand, caramelized cheese is yummy!
I’m sure there are a whole slew of cheese-related jokes that could be made, but I just can’t think of any right now because I’m having Monty Python flashbacks…
I had another blogger that I follow find this pretty funny, and post about it as well. Reminds me of a time when discussions were had about posting guards on overturned semi-trucks. Beer, yes. Fleet Enemas, no. (I really had a sergeant ask me if I was going to post a guard on an overturned semi that was full of boxes of Fleet enemas; 24 to a box, if you’re curious.) I told him no, then had to tell him what they were.
No, I don’t think a Fleet Enema spill would be in danger. However, I have often entertained fantasies of hijacking an Häagen-Dazs truck. If I found one turned over on the side of the road, it’s possible that not even a police guard could keep me away.
This police guard would join you! Must save the cargo from melting!
