A trucker in China who drove 500 miles with a cardboard windschield became so cold that one of his eyes froze shut.
The trucker has now lost his licence, after he drove 500 miles (800 km) down a highway with a sheet of cardboard covering his shattered windshield.
Sing Li, 24, navigated by sticking his head out of the driver’s window. Unfortunately, this caused him to become rather cold – when he was arrested in Henan, Eastern China, not only was one eye frozen shut, but his head was blue from the cold.
‘I didn’t want to fall behind in my delivery schedule and I couldn’t afford a repair,’ he told a court.
Thanks DJ
Dr: Sing Li, by the way I didn’t know you were a little Spanish, to determine if your vision is ok, would you agree to spell ‘icicle’ on this chart in a stuttering sounding way.
Sing Li: With my icy eye, si. I see i-c-i-c-l-e.
HIRED!!!!
Of course they froze shut. His eyes were mostly closed to begin with.
(Sorry about that)
hey it’s not like he wanted to freeze his eye shut. That must have sucked
I understand the danger in this, but can you imagine feeling that you needed the money so bad that you worked until one of your eyes froze shut?! And he would have kept going had he not gotten caught. How many of us have that worry with our jobs? How many of us are willing to work that hard to earn a little money?
Jimbo, I generally have a good sense of humor, but that comment is just not appropriate.
Jimbo was just pointing out a humorous slant in the story.
Oh man I have been there. A few years back I was working my night-watchman job while in school. I burnt my hand really badly and rather then take the night off I went in anyway. Spent the night biting my wallet with my hand in a glass of cold water while finishing my homework.
