Paybacks Are A....

Here's how the conversation went:

Me: (voice wavering) I think I might be in some trouble here.

DM: What's going on?

Me: I got hauled into the rest area for a roadside.

DM: Okaaayy?

Me: Well, he did a quick look around my truck and went up in the cab. He found something.

DM: Okaaayy??

Me: Well, you remember I had that waiver for my arthritis when I was company? For that medication?

DM: What'd he find?

Me: I haven't taken the stuff in over two years. I completely forgot I even had it....

DM: Well, what is it??

Me: Vicodin.

DM: (voice faltering) What's he saying?

Me: Nothing yet. He just put the bottle on his hood.

DM: Oh, boy. Well, does it have your name on it?

Me: Yeah, but I don't have a waiver for it any more.

DM: Ooohhh, boy.

Me: Here he comes. He's not looking too happy.

DM: Okay. Stay on the line. I'm gonna call....

Me: Hold on a sec. He's giving me something to sign.

DM: What's it say?

Me: What's the date today?

DM: (long, silent pause) .....................

DM: Your next load is going 30 miles with 14 drops.
