    I was on the way back from my first trip in the Northern Territory of Australia, in convoy with 5 other road trains, 15 trailers full of cows. We forded a big river and pulled up for a brew on the other side. But first we had to get all the fallers back on their feet so the Boss said ok I want one volunteer to stand outside poking the electric prod through the slats while the rest of us climb up and inside to get 'em all up. My hand went up straight away, I wanted to be first because these beasts had been running wild and cross breeding with all sorts of buffalos and stuff and I wasn't about to drop down amongst them. I got the job, I admit I was a bit surprised but I took up my position with the prod while all the brave souls went over the top.
    15 minutes later, I was nowhere near the trucks, I was in the river and even the crocs wouldn't come near me, I had finally realised what cows do when they aren't eating, and then they stamp up and down in it.

    I had a layover in Denver one night and being a good looking man in the prime of life I decided to go to the bar across the street.You have to be careful about choosing a bar in unfamiliar places. I was there for 3 hours before I found out everyone there was gay accept me and the guy I was dancing with.

    He identified as gender fluid, so sometimes he’s a “happy meal”, other times tofu.

    Had me until the alien part. There are people out there that meet all the other criteria. But one thing I know about those people, they certainly don’t talk about it. There are usually quiet, meek, appear, passive, polite, and keep to themselves.

    Picked up a young lady in Dallas in the late 80s. I was heading to Smoke City and she needed a ride. Wasn’t a bad looking gal, and her conversation was pleasant…

    BUT…

    Every so often, she would say something into a device that was the size of a modern day smartphone. I asked her about that device, and she became hesitant. Uhoh, a bad omen.

    “This is…ummm…what I…ummm…ahhh…ummm…use to talk to…ummm…extraterrestrial life forms.”

    Actually they aren’t all quiet and meek BUT they certainly don’t talk about the shady things! Even those that somewhat confide in close friends or family, never tell everything.
