Need a truck?

We have a ditch in front of our building where I work. It's an interesting path to get to our parking lot as the entrance is way out of line from the actual parking lot, hard to explain. Anyway, we have had several people in the years I have been here, end up in that ditch with their vehicles. Most of the time, its in the winter when the snow has covered the actual way out, so people unfamiliar with our lot try to drive out where it would be logical for the road, but that wouldn't be fun now would it? Today, a guy somehow backed into the ditch and was completely wedged, so much so that his front tires were just barely making contact with the ground. A few of us guys went out to try and lift the back end of the car to see if the tires could catch and pull himself out. It almost worked, but he couldn't get enough of a grip to get out. Santa to the rescue. A guy pulls up that looks like a dirty Santa, unclean not perverted. He even had his summer red shorts on, I shit you not. Santa is driving what can loosely be called a truck. I'm guessing it was an old Datsun or Toyota, but its actual make is difficult to say. Santa offered a tow, for a mere $20 that the stuck gentleman agreed to. I stopped traffic on the road so Santa could line up his truck and hook up his chain to the car and what use to be the trucks bumper. As he was hooking it up, I took the time to peer into the cab of the truck and was surprised to see that times are tuff on the jolly guy. His seat has been replaced with the top half of a keg. I snapped a quick picture of the interior, hope you can see it, in all its glory.
