(I looked this up) It's from the Kenny Rogers song Lucille. It's a commonly misheard (or parody?) lyric of the main chorus

In a bar in Toledo, across from the depot
On a bar stool she took off her ring
I thought I'd get closer so I walked on over
I sat down and asked her her name
When the drinks finally hit her she said I'm no quitter
But I finally quit living on dreams
I'm hungry for laughter and here ever after
I'm after what ever the other life brings
In the mirror I saw him and I closely watched him
I thought how he looked out of place
He came to the woman who sat there beside me
He had a strange look on his face
The big hands were calloused he looked like a mountain
For a minute I thought I was dead
But he started shaking his big heart was breaking
He turned to the woman and said
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
I've had some bad times, lived through some sad times
But this time your hurting won't heal
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
After he left us I ordered more whisky
I thought how she'd made him look small
From the lights of the bar room to a rented hotel room
We walked without talking at all
She was a beauty but when she came to me
She must have thought I'd lost my mind
I couldn't hold her 'cos the words that he told her
Kept coming back time after time
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
I've had some bad times, lived through some sad times
This time your hurting won't heal
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille

This is crazy, it's like something that would happen if a child ran his RC Toy into his younger sibling's lego collection. I wonder if it hit those that set of cars it bounces over first...
Also, I like how everyone comes out and looks at the tire instead of going towards the direction the tire came from to investigate. It's almost as if they're saying 'Yep, it's a tire' then going back to work like it happens all the time

That's older than hell, but still VERY appropriate for the situation. :thumbsup:
I've posted before on here in similar threads about driving a 10 wheel dumptruck in Utah. Going down a fairly busy road one day, I look in my mirror and see a truck tire starting to pass me. Yep, one of mine. I looked ahead, and there was some traffic heading my way, so I swerved into the tire and sent it into the field I was driving by. When I pulled over, I found that the entire center of the wheel had sheared, leaving the part at the lugnuts in place. Turns out, the gypo Mormon I was driving for (everyone knew he was fucking cheap, but this was excessive) had installed bias ply tires and radial tires, not only on the same axle, but in the same sets of duals. Every turn I made put excessive stress on the centers of the wheels as the two tires flexed in different directions. UHP wrote him a couple of stiff tickets for each of his trucks. (we were all running the same route, and he just waited and pulled each one over as they went by) 4 out of 5 trucks had the mixed tires, 3 out of 5 had damaged, cracked or broken wheels.
Normally, damage to the wheels would be caught in the morning walk-around, but the tire work had been done over the weekend, so everything looked normal when we started that morning. Didn't take long to change that though...(these trucks had 10 yard beds, and hauled as much as 20 tons in each load.)
