    Or in this situation, knocking out every side mirror for 20 miles.

    The driver had a choice between safety or convenience. He chose the ladder."
  • jdmulloy, on 09/07/2009, -2/+91What is the ladder gag?
  • AngryDeuce, on 09/07/2009, -2/+80What a ***** idiot.
  • HeadInJarMan, on 09/07/2009, -1/+51This guy has seriously rung all the fun out of this joke.
  • EllimistX, on 09/07/2009, -2/+45I don't know if he's a genius or an idiot, but I'm leaning toward the ladder.
  • i23Photography, on 09/07/2009, -1/+16You buried something because you can't read properly?
  • d3dm, on 09/07/2009, -3/+16Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!
  • inactive, on 09/07/2009, -3/+15Clearly a step behind.
  • Gibletoid, on 09/07/2009, -1/+13So the car turns around, and accidentally hits someone in the back of the head with the ladder. When turning around to look at what he hit, he hits someone else.

    That is the ladder gag.
  • Phelyx, on 09/07/2009, -2/+13My physics might be wrong, but I'm thinking that looks like an aluminum ladder... and if it were to strike something on the driver's side fast enough, the ladder would push against the back of the driver's side rear window and the front of the passenger side window creating stress just off-center of the ladder resulting in it bending and breaking directly into the back of the driver's skull. Hopefully this driver hits an inanimate object instead of another human being, in which case perhaps we won't have to worry about this dangerous moron or any more of it's offspring endangering the rest of us.
  • stevenbrown, on 09/07/2009, -0/+11He will never climb his way to success
  • Namco, on 09/07/2009, -0/+10Not only is there a ladder sticking through the car, but balancing a VW Beetle on the roof too? Awesome skill!
  • EnTaroTassadar, on 09/07/2009, -1/+10I buried your comment because I read "jonnyoliver" as "jonny's liver".
  • Gradski, on 09/07/2009, -2/+11Rofl I was just gonna post that. That guy made my day.
  • phylum, on 09/07/2009, -0/+7that's a roman decapitation chariot.

  • spriggig, on 09/07/2009, -0/+5Twelve foot ladder, twelve foot lane. He's good.
  • stickypenguin, on 09/07/2009, -0/+5what a dumb ass. who would buy a red beetle
  • Chrus, on 09/07/2009, -1/+5PUNCH BUGGY!
  • LonesomeFighter, on 09/07/2009, -1/+5also posted in these comments an hour and a half ago
  • Zaxcomp, on 09/07/2009, -0/+4I think you are being buried by cretins that cant read a full paragraph.
    The mechanics sound almost right to me, however, you have to account for the driver-side B-pillar probably being able to stop any forward motion if the passenger side of the ladder was hit. Now what it would look like if the impact was large enough to structurally damage the ladder, is something I'd like mythbusters to take a gander at.
  • Rantipole, on 09/07/2009, -0/+3The first thing I noticed was the Jack in the Box, not the ladder.
  • tokomini, on 09/08/2009, -1/+4Basically, you ask your best friend if they could help you clean the gutters on your roof. You tell them to go first because that way you can stabilize the ladder to ensure it doesn't tip over. Once they get up to the roof, you remove the ladder and walk away.
  • i23Photography, on 09/08/2009, -0/+3I wish I could bury you more now
  • Oceandrop, on 09/07/2009, -1/+3This is an insult to idiots worldwide.
  • brad3378, on 09/07/2009, -2/+4idiots make the internet go 'round.
  • 4rp4n3t, on 09/08/2009, -0/+1Fight! Fight! Fight!
  • Jektal, on 09/07/2009, -1/+2*no

    I'm assuming the back seat doesn't fold down. With a ladder that size, it wouldn't stay in the trunk even if it were tied down, only the first 2-3 rungs would be inside.

    The correct solution would be to toss a towel or something on the roof, place the ladder up there in line with the car, and strap it down.

    That said, the picture *does* include the license plate #...
  • MacBandit, on 09/07/2009, -2/+3This is extremely illegal and know a pink flag on the end doesn't make it legal. The only way you can exceed 10 feet in width is with wide load signage and escort cars. You could however shove it through the trunk and the back seat and have it hang out the back with a flag and it would be legal.

    Personally I think on an intelligence scale this guy is right up there with the guy reading a book while driving.
  • tdudkowski, on 09/08/2009, -0/+1We need banana gag on the road also.
  • Jektal, on 09/07/2009, -2/+3Why beware bikers? With a rig like that, it's the bikers who ought to beware.

  • charlie55, on 09/07/2009, -5/+3digg isnt working properly when stuff like this makes the front. how is this a "gag"? this is the most boring thing i have ever seen.
  • Phelyx, on 09/07/2009, -4/+2I hope I'm being buried for my incorrect use of an apostrophe in that last sentence! I hate when I do that!
