Snake oil at East St Louis Pilot (exit 4 i70 illinois)

man if i dont go to east st louis unless i have too thats for sure

 

I have used baking soda for years on my metal. It does a nice job on glass too. as for the panhandlers. When I drove in the 80's and 90's they had anything you could want. as for that thing with the child I would go to jail for stompping a mud hole in him gladly. Like I told my ex's new hubby after he spanked my son with a spoon on his naked butt. I don't mind going back to prison for a good cause. That would be a good cause.

 

This story reminds me of the guys at the Pilot in North Las Vegas that either want to sell you crap that you can't use, or polish the rims on the truck.

I once told a guy: "Man, do you see who's name is on the side of this truck that I'm driving? Do you honestly think that I make enough money to just give away to you like that? I'm barely making it myself out here."

There's always that deafening silence right after.

 

those scumbags have no shame......

 

That stuff is easy to make. The base is charcoal lighter fluid,mix with a partial ground up buffing compound bar. Seen it done before.

 

I carry all the locator guides for the major truck stops. When anyone knocks on my door especially when I'm asleep I pull the guide out and make a call on the cell. I've never not seen someone from the truck stop come out to get the pan handler or lizard off the property. The funniest was them chasing this drunk all around the parking lot of the "J" at Kingman! The CB was going nuts!

 

I don't go to Pilots and I try to avoid Flying J's if it's at all possible...

I was in Cedar City, UT. one day and this guy walks up and start telling me about this miracle cleaner that he's got and wants to demonstrate it for me so I let him wash a window so I could get a look at the stuff.

He went on to tell me that it was only available through a TV offer and that he had a buddy that worked in the warehouse where they distributed it from that got a "deal" on it and he would sell it to me for $10 a bottle which was "less than half price!"

I opened my jockey box and pulled a bottle of it out and said..."$1.00 a bottle at the Dollar Tree!"
He just smiled and said "Hey, You can't blame a guy for tryin'."

I agree with him.

If you're dumb enough to buy ANYTHING from ANYONE at a truckstop You deserve what you get!

 

OMG! my very first job was as a fueler at the e.st.louis truckstop, it was called Big Duga's back then and we used to help the security run lizards and panhandlers off, cracked a few heads back in those days (not proud of it but hey! I was 16) am proud of the fact I slept with most of the waitress'es though hehe. hell, maybe some of the new lizard's there might be my kid's? sure hope not.

 

Uh-huh. And just how old were you when you realized that you were supposed to do more than sleep?
