Got a call that my buddy kinda got too sideways and went into a ditch.

Looks like you had some fun and its always good to help a friend in need but now I am going to criticize your recovery work. Please next time don't tie off or wrap around the hitch ball and for heavens sake please either you or your friend really need to invest in a real recovery/tow strap. One more thing, you should lay a blanket or have something with some weight on the strap so if it breaks it does not snap back like a rubber band. Sorry if I sound like a parent (which I am) but I would not want to see or hear if anybody got hurt.

Its cool man, we had minimal straps and such to work with, thats all he had, but the snapping back thing did come in mind. Ill look for a tow strap soon.

I totally read your headline as "Went and pulled a BODY out today"

I've obviously been spending too much time down at the funeral home lately.
