Quick Takes

ODDBALL OCCURRENCES

Got milk?

A tractor-trailer traveling out of Chicago crashed and spilled much of its 14-ton payload of Oreo double-stuffed cookies onto Interstate 80 in the early morning hours of May 19. The crumbly collision happened after the truck's driver fell asleep at the wheel and struck the median. According to the police report, boxes containing the Oreos broke open, spilling individual packages onto the roadway. Police were forced to clear the roadway of the cookies before opening the Interstate back up to travel. No word on whether authorities sampled the wreckage.

In May the couple celebrated their 80th wedding anniversary in the Plymouth nursing home where they both live. Mrs. Milford says the pair met in 1926 at YMCA dances while attempting to foxtrot. "He used to step on my feet," Mrs. Milford, now 99, said. Mr. Milford, now 100, made up for it, though: She still wears the engagement ring costing six pounds that he bought her.
