Not only did a truck carrying 43 thousand pounds (21.5 tons) of butter nearly close the Northeast Extension when it crashed this morning, but then Action News did this intro to the story:

PLYMOUTH TWP., Pa. - February 5, 2008 — Butter is not jam… but it is jamming the Northeast Extension. A tractor trailer carrying butter overturned on the Northeast Extension southbound ramp to the eastbound Turnpike in Plymouth Township.

Investigators tell Action News that traffic is getting by on the shoulder, but further delays are expected when the cleanup begins.

What? It’s just butter. Just hire a diner to clean it up; they’ll never have to buy butter again.
