“Get the BIG dustpan, Fred.”
That’s what Monica Zoch of Fort Wayne imagines being said in this photo. (When you read the real story below, you’ll see she’s not far off!)
Polenta, corn, milk, couscous and sand are among things readers thought might have been spilled from this truck.
Albert Lichtsinn of Fort Wayne offers another funny possibility: “Scrambled eggs for the Green Giant.”

What kid doesn t want to climb up on a pile of a favorite treat and start eating?
Heck, what adult doesn t want to do that from time to time? I ll tell you right now, if I come across a mountain of french fries, I m going to stay there a while. You can join me if you bring the ketchup.
