The driver who crashed the delivery van took the license plate as she fled the scene, attempting to cover her shame. However, she failed to realize her company’s name and address are written on the side of the van…

Owner of the delivery service: “I don’t understand… my new driver said she just graduated from the Rosco P. Coltrane School of Driving. I haven’t heard of that one, but it sounded prestigious…”

That’s no duck, but it’s certainly a surprise.

If it looks like a van, drives like a van, and honks like a van, it’s not a duck.

it came as a surprise when it was revealed that the secret ingredient was not duck… not even dog! … but VAN?
MangoMan
after the crash the evil cones that had been driving the vehicle, slowly and inconspicuously left the area.

guy on far left immediately after crash: WOW! that was amazing!
guy next to him: nah, not amazing at all. it’s just a empty 5 gallon bucket… look i’ll show you (he takes off the lid)

Are the road cones really necessary? Won’t people naturally realize there has been an accident?

Beyond the obvious part about the van crash — I wonder what kind of unique food is served at a restaurant called Fat Duck Surprise…
A local restaurant should create a menu item called Fat Burger Surprise. 🙂

Waiter, there’s a van in my soup.

Do horrendous crashes always come with the free delivery?

And then the surprise party went horribly wrong…

Despite what you may have seen on some commercials and movies, where a car skids into a perfect parallel parking spot via a handbrake turn, the same thing can’t be done with a van. Don’t ask how I know.

Driver, calling insurance company: “Do you have a discount for combining auto and home? [Yes.] Great, because I just did!”

Sometimes that doesn’t happen all the time.

Today you will read a bit of Shakespeare, and just before you fall asleep, you will think: “A duck, by any other name, would smell as foul.” Never mix Shakespeare and chocolate ice cream. The results can be a trifle unpredictable.

Driver: “Officer, I don’t know what could have happened! Everything was just like normal… Yeah, I was putting on makeup, talking on my cell phone, and speeding, but that’s what I always do.”

When the owner of the shop was asked if the van was welcome surprise to his premises he simply stated, “Dat F#@k Surprise in my opinion”.

Bob began to suspect that the Combo #3 (Sudden Van with Rice) was not an amusing failure of translation.

Someone said they thought ninjas caused the driver to lose control, but there were no witnesses…

Fortune Cookie says: Duck!
Beppo
Do not try this at home!

Driver: “I hate it when that happens.”
