1. Muscle shirts are for guys who have muscles.

According to my neices you have to dress in the latest clothing like Aeropostale, Hollister, American Eagle.

2. Please take advantage of your company's dental plan. The missing teeth thing is very gross.
3. If your belly sticks out farther than your manhood it is a problem.
4. Lose the comb over. You are not fooling anyone. Just cut it short it looks a lot better.
5. Take a shower and brush your teeth on a regular basis.

2-5 Should be for everyone, men and women...except for the manhood part, unless thats what you swing for

6. Do not hit on us over the C.B. Has this ever worked?

Yes it has

7. Make sure you do not have a tan line where your wedding ring is supposed to be. Might as well leave it on creepo.

Some could care less if you are married, they could be too

8. Lose the stupid pick up lines.[left]

Please help the homeless. Take me home with you...

9. Remember that we are someone's daughter or sister and treat us like that.

I agree

10. If you are lucky enough to hook up with a girl at your company than keep your mouth shut. Don't go around bragging about it or it will never happen again.

Isn't that just looking for trouble?
I was heading back home from Chicago Monday and was chatting with a female driver on the cb. She mentioned that she was tired and wanted to stop to get coffee. So I stopped with her to get coffee and she thought I was going to pay for her coffee. It was her idea to stop, i don't know her, just heading in the same direction. Now why would she assume I was going to buy?

If I stop with anyone I have met on the road, I always offer to pay, just the way I am. I like to do it, Never happens any more though, I am way to scared to stop with anyone, afraid I met get robbed or attacked, actually I am scared of my response to an attack, I am well protected if You know what I mean, and am afraid of the consequences if I am forced to protect my self. both for my self and for the offender,... I will stop if I see a woman in distress on the side of the road, but am leary of this practice too. Last year I stopped to help a girl change her tire om RT 95 sb on the Mass RI line. I got on my knees to pull the lug nuts and a guy came behind me from the woods, bad move for him I saw his reflection in the paint. He got his and in a big way. I also had to spend the next 2 days at the state police barracks filling out Paper work, Come to find out they had done the same gig to about 3 other people. Any how I am very leary now anywhere I am, I just keep my head down, (but my eyes open) keep my mouth shut, and keep movin, but I will still stop for a woman in distress, it is the right thing to do. I just take a good look around now and never keep my head in one spot for too long.

Because she's an idiot???

I'd NEVER expect it. I might offer or he might offer but I'd ASSUME we'd each pay since we're virtual strangers and it wasn't really an invite, just a comment of I'm stopping for coffee... good idea... think I will, too... ya know?

Females like her give us a bad rep.

Jeepers Doma, thankfully you were on top of that situation you had. One of my friends was not so lucky, and he died as the result of a similar situation. Unfortunately lifes knocks sometimes make us reticent to be ourselves in company anymore.

I'm sorry to hear that. That's really sad

I wouldn't stop for anyone any more but I would call for help for them (cell phone). It's just too scary a world out there these days.
