STOP advertising and just let it happen! hehe

I can't believe my sister is/was a flasher, and most recently my mom thought she'd give it a shot while I was driving! Must have been because I told her I could probably find her a single driver she could ride with occasionally since she doesn't get out much.

Well, I'm sure it started with my mom first, then my sis-- ahh the 70's! Hmm, I think I remember joy riding with my mom & her friend when I was a teen. WTH!

Speaking of where it all got started... You would have thought it started in the sixties and it was a woman flashing them before the driver asked for it. Ya think?

Well from that perspective I have to agree. All pranks aside. My boys (age 4 and 2) both love trucks and trains. I wouldn't want them having the wrong image in their heads, much less someone else's little tricycle motors.

Flashed many times, propositioned at a delivery, phone numbers held up windows, ..but my best was dating the female Ohio Trooper who wrote me the only ticket I've ever gotten in a truck.
