So I'm driving along minding my own business, heading home on 80 when all of a sudden around mile 290 or something BAM 80 is completely closed all traffic rediected to 380 well i never been on 380 i cant get home form it so i had to make a U-turn in one of those police service roads and backtrack 15 miles to the PA turnpike, so i was thinking damn i just last at least a halfhour and i was coming up on a rest stop and had to pee while i was there i noticed i happened to be at the rest stop i'd passed a few time that had the ocasr meyer hot dog contruction company (a hot dog shack) so i figure hey im delayed anyway might as well try it cause ive always wanted to be neve felt like stopping, i got a texas (cheese, chili, onions, and jalapenos) and a georgia (cheese, chili, and sweet onion relish) cost me $6.13 i didnt have any change so i paid with a 5 and 2 singles, went to my car to eat em, delicious, filled me up too, well with a full stomach and alot of energy i thoguht to myself screw this crap i'm gonna make up some time, it'* been awhile since my HUD showed me triple digits, almost forgot how nice it is if 80 hadnt been closed i was originally planning on getting home around 4, i thought id lost a half hour cause of the close and 15 minutes for the hot dogs, so without making up time i wudve got home around 5, i got home at 3:35, when I was at the rest stop i called and told my parent i was gonna be late when i showed up earlier than i was orignally supposed to be home they were like omgwtfbbq so i was like 'im not gonna lie to you, the less you know about how fast i went, the better' and my dad was like you really should drive slower and i wa slike i normally do and that was that

so ANYWAY does anyone know why 80 was closed?

Might have been strong stuff. To think you've been driving through that all these years!

Amen, brotha!

I can just imagine that whole story being read in a high "chipmunk" voice, with a really long "WHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" at the end . Yeah, you know what I'm talking about...
