______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n This might as well have been a truck full of cash. Authorities in Texas say a truck crashed around 4 a.m. last Wednesday and burst into flames in southern Dallas County. The kicker is the cargo was a load of much sought-after toilet paper. The truck driver was not injured and told authorities that he hit a bump, lost control of the vehicle and struck a highway barrier, causing the truck to overturn. Firefighters extinguished the blaze, and the cargo was completely lost.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u27a2 April 10: <\/p>\n J.K.
