News Failure

I posted a comment recently about a traffic accident nearby and the fact that it wasn’t reported in any news source that I could find. Now I have the rest of the story! It was raining that night; about 8 PM and the large truck (10 tons) from the rendering plant was on its way home when it made a left turn too fast. The truck landed on its side and the load spilled out into the intersection. The load consisted of a whole days worth of dead animals and animal parts. Gross! Then a speeding SUV struck the truck, adding to the confusion. No one was hurt but it took quite awhile to clean up the intersection. It was simply offal! (I can’t pass up a chance to use that word in such a great pun.)

Now here is where the local news fails again. They had a perfect chance to use that pun legitimately...and didn't.
