Okay. I’m going to have to fess up. I thought there was a magnet truck that picked up washing machines, dryers, etc. I just knew there was a huge circular magnet that attached to the big hydraulic arm of the grabber truck. “Viola” a magnet truck.
But, my husband put enough doubt into my brain so that I was forced to call the “Reidsville City Of” – Streets Supervisor, Mr. McNeil. Mr. McNeil kindly and generously confirmed that there was, indeed, no magnet truck. We had a very nice conversation. In other words, he indulged me.
Mr. McNeil told me that the hydraulic arm and the grabber were all one piece. That would mean that the workers would not be able to take off the grabber in order to attach the magnet – the magnet that doesn’t exist. I must admit that I was very disappointed.
Just think…If there really were a magnet truck that picked up washing machines, dryers, etc. the folks in West Virginia could use one. That way, people wouldn’t be able to make so many jokes about them.
Alrighty then. That’s my story.

P.S. While I was at Baptist Hospital having a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) my ex-neurologist was telling me West Virginia jokes! I kid you not. Everybody knows how still you are supposed to be when you’re having a spinal tap.
vicki, you are so silly! this is a really cute story, thank you.
Let’s hope that people in West Virginia aren’t reading this…hehe. Actually, I can’t count the number of times that we could’ve used a “magnet truck”
Very funny piece, indeed.
