FIRED TRUCKER DUMPS LOAD OF CORN

A truck driver was arrested for allegedly dumping nearly 1,000 bushels of corn on a Nebraska road after he was fired via text message. Authorities said Darren Walp, 36, had been driving the load of corn for B & T Livingston Trucking back on August 4th when he received a text message telling him he had been fired. “Pack your stuff ASAP and you can leave,” the text read. Walp, who had been taking the load of corn to Hanover, Kansas, opened up the back of his truck and dumped the entire load of corn on the westbound lane of Highway 8. The corn was spread out over about a quarter mile. The lost corn was valued at $3,094, while the cost of cleanup was estimated at about $500. Walp was charged with felony criminal mischief.
* Well, shucks.
* He dumped the corn, then stalked off.
* A lot of us will be taking big dumps the next few days, but this is different.
* A load of corn in Nebraska? Well, that part checks out.
* 1,000 bushels? That’s almost as much corn as one episode of “This Is Us.”
* This is where the boss texts back a minute later and rescinds the firing but it’s too late.
* And you thought breaking up via text was cold. How about getting fired?
* This isn’t going to help him land another job.
