    if i had eaten anything that heavy, i'd have heart burn like Mrs O'Leary's cow tipping the lantern, and setting Chicago on fire.

    Almost every member here is boycotting Little Debbie and her high prices.

    In y 27 years as a cop, before I retired and started OTR, I'd to tell people "You are NEVER going to win an argument here on the side of the road".

    A full 80%, and sometimes more, of my traffic stops were just warnings. "Hey, I just want to let you know you have a head/tail light out. GEt it fixed before someone writes you a ticket".

    Absent DUI or a warrant or the subject being a complete tool...a warning was enough as far as I was concerned. In an industry where citations cost us so much...why not just ####, let the officer talk, and play your best odds of catching a warning instead of a citation?

    I got pulled over in Kanab, Utah with a roached tail light, which was okay when I pretripped, and all I said to the deputy was "Hey, thanks for letting me know. I will get it taken care of".

    I didn't even catch a written warning, just a friendly "Okay, cool...have a good night".

    Why make your day longer and more expensive? Every minute you're sitting and not rolling is money you're losing...IMHO.

    She does not have to. All pixie needs to do is coo a little bit. Man would be very compliant.

    Little Debbie prices went up because of government regulation no longer allowed them to use the cheap sugar they were using. Why not boycott hostess closing down getting rid of the union and then coming back with higher prices?
    Doesn't matter to me. Just curious.
