Desperate PennDot Calls Out The “Tonka Fleet”

Increasingly unable to keep up with Erie’s onslaught of snow, PennDot is now calling upon our youngest citizens to take up their plows. “We have no choice at this point” said local PennDot spokesman Andy Hummel. “It’s time to bring out the big guns. Or should I say the small guns?”

Hummel went on to say “We are asking that any child with a Tonka snowplow or even a Tonka truck with a plow attachment come out and start getting to work on our streets. We are overwhelmed.”

Hummel said that any able – bodied child is asked to help. There are no age restrictions. “Just get out there.” he said. “If this snow continues we may also call upon kids with Little Tykes trucks. Heck we’re even accepting old Buddy Ls at this point.”
