Hi, Mike, my best one; one nite comming home from work, darcker than the inside of a black cow, about three miles from home, the pickup came to a slow halt with something dragging on the road.

Crawled under, and found out it was the driveshaft, bolts in the steady bearing had come out, or broke, and let the driveshaft come apart! The only thing I had, besides visions of walking home, was a tow rope. Now that was quite a trick to get things back in place, in the dark, with that ugly big rope!
