tommyrot, I have roadside assistance with my insurance company. I would call them and they would give me the number of a tow truck.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Can you tell AAA, "I need a flatbed tow-truck, not the other kind."
Yup.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
tommyrot, are you currently stuck or just planning ahead?
Most of the tow trucks I see anymore are the kind with a flatbed that can also tow behind the truck.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
tommyrot, are you currently stuck or just planning ahead?
Just planning ahead. Plus I've always wondered what to do in that situation....

I've gotten the flatbed style more times than not, even if I didn't ask for it.
AAA Plus, baybee!

Hypothetically, if your car broke down on the highway and you were a ways from home and didn't have AAA, who would you call? I mean, you'd want a local tow-truck, so how would you find one?
What other people said about AAA. Or I'd use googlemaps on my cellphone to call a local gas station? Might depend on what the issue was with the car.
I might just sit on teh side of the road and cry and cry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We're really not getting let go early today. I'm annoyed! But shouldn't be! I hate when things usually happen, but in an unofficial way.

We never have had an unofficial early leave (well, some people may leave early, but they record it as such.) It's always official, which means it only occurs in cases of national disaster or local extreme weather. Or when the power goes out.
