Ditch Dragger

A Ditch Dragger suffers from poor eyesight and a terrible sense of direction, especially in familiar territory. At least once a year, the ditch dragger will crash a perfectly good truck into a drain that has been there for years.
The Ditch dragger is particularly common on farms, and usually has a proclivity for molesting innocent farm animals.

"fuck me, did you see what that clown did this time? what a fucking ditch dragger!"
