Years ago, there was a fancy clothes store here in Bedford, satellite of
the one in Cumberland Md. Both towns are on US 220.

A guy here needed a tux, and they called down around 10 AM to get one sent up,
guy said he would get the shop helper to run it right up. 30 miles, it would
be there in an hour.


A couple hours later, Bedford called down, and was told he left hours ago.
About 5, Cumberland called, they just got off the phone with him.
He was in New York! And still hadn't found Bedford!

So, they got him turned around, and had him call every hour.
When they knew he was close, they went to the center of town to flag him down.

The customer had to come in that night, and the seamstress had to work way
late to have the tux ready for the Saturday shindig.


That said, I know a guy who hooked to a trailer in Maine.
Pulled it to Cincinnati, then realized it was the wrong one.
This paper went to Georgia, his was still in Maine.

Numbers were close, I found it by walking around, took the papers
out of the box, then went and got the truck. I had the right papers.
Hooked to the wrong trailer. (We had dozens there)
Never, ever took the papers out of a trailer until I was hooked to it again.
