A Sea of Root Beer


For the past 2 months my days have been spent driving around the beautiful Shave it Van pictured above. Yesterday was like any other day.... driving through the streets of Thousand Oaks, looking for children in need of sugar. The day was long.... over 300 children served.... I was ready to head home. As I pull into my owner's driveway ready to end my shift for the night, a strong scent of Root Beer overcomes me. I turn on the light inside the van and to my disbelief all I see is Sea of Root Beer covered all over the floor. One of my many 3 gallon boxes of syrups had erupted while I drove home on the 101 South. As I rub my eyes due to exhaustion, I comtemplate in my mind........."Should I just pretend that I did not notice a whole 12 pack of Barq's on the floor and wait until the morning to clean the disaster or should I drive back to the store and spend 1 hour cleaning this mess up"??????? So what do you suppose I did................
