Lawyer to Judge:

Your Honor, clearly U-Haul is liable for the resulting massive 10-car pile-up on Interstate 80 as they most certainly did not clarify these so-called 'limitations' of trailer use in a language my client 'The esteemed Bubba Jones' could understand.

A lost scene from "Crocodile Hunter".

"You have to be very quiet as to not to spook the native animals here…. OH, OH, looky here, ……Here we stumbled across on Interstate 94, a 1998 Chevrolet with a fifth wheel mating a 1999 GMC U-Haul. This is Amazing,….. a rare site indeed."

Said in a Steve Irwin voice…… or Elmer Fudd
