I once saw a dump truck driver dump his load without releasing his tailgate.  
When the dump body went over-center, the truck reared up on its back two wheels 
and then the frame bent in half and the front two wheels dropped to the ground. 
 Someone said that that was one ever-so-fired truck driver and his boss said 
"No WAY.  That guy will never make that mistake again, and I'll be damned if 
I'll let another outfit gain the benefit of this training!"

So, I betcha this department, including the dude or dudette, will be 
more careful about Ooops Planning from now on.   As to the $225,000... 
hey, its money into the local economy, right?  A good thing.  And its certainly 
not a major amount of money, especially with $2.30 gasoline.
