What could be funnier than watching a couple of Grumpy Old (Business)Men get stuck in the mud in off-road vehicles on an Oregon beach? That’s for you to decide, but this video certainly had me in stitches.

(RSS and e-mail readers: You may need to click through to the original post to see the video.)

The vid is the latest in a series chronicling the Pacific Coast road trip of Allan Jenkins and Lee Hopkins, a pair of overseas business communicators (Allan is an expat Yankee living in Denmark; Lee is a red-blooded Aussie bloke) who are trekking from Seattle to San Francisco in advance of the 2009 IABC World Conference, which begins this Sunday.

Allan and Lee co-hosted a business podcast together a few years back, but had never met face-to-face until this week (perhaps not that surprising these days, right?). They’re obviously making up for lost time.

I’ll also be headed out to the IABC conference this weekend–though I guess I’m a bit boring, because I’m flying to San Francisco–and look forward to catching up with Allan and Lee at the FIR Dinner on Sunday night. They haven’t met me face-to-face yet, either, but I don’t suspect that will prevent us from having a few laughs.
