MORRIS, Ill. (AP) -- Police say a trailer loaded with 14 tons of double-stuffed Oreos has overturned, spilling the cookies still in their plastic sleeves into the median and roadway.
Illinois State Police Sgt. Brian Mahoney says the truck's driver was traveling from Chicago to Morris on Interstate 80 around 4 a.m. Monday when he fell asleep at the wheel and slammed into the median.
"The boxes came out of the trailer and boxes were ripped open," he said.
The crash about 50 miles southwest of Chicago remains under investigation.
Mahoney says no charges have been filed but both lanes of traffic remain closed while authorities remove the cookies

Some have said this is a symbolism of what's to come soon to Obama. I mourn the loss of the cookies. :(

Quick, bring out the milk trucks!

Oh well....that's the way the cookie crumbles.

Actually, the traffic jam was caused by hoards of people stopping and stuffing their faces. :-)

Sweet lard almighty. I figured this thread would turn into some waffer-thin puns.

Wouldn't it have been far more poetic if it had collided with a tanker truck full of milk?

No charges? The police must be crackers. :-)

New bumpersticker...."I BRAKE FOR OREOS"

A couple nights ago, I built the elusive sextuple-stuf Oreo. That's where you start with three Double Stufs, take one cookie side off each of them, stick two of them together (known as a quadruple-stuf), carefully try to get one of the cookie sides off that and then, if successful, stick the last of the three Double Stufs on it.
Someday, I will try for the nigh-impossible octuple-stuf.

You really need to get out more.
