    I don't know how many blacks I had ask me for money at truck stops over the years. it was always a black, never a white person. not sure why. I was taking a walk around my neighborhood one evening and a black rolled up in a thunderbird, not one of the newer ones, probably late 90s. he asked for gas money. I'm walking, and this brotha is driving a sweet thunderbird. you think he got any money from me?

    I just tell them I am a company driver and who I drive for, and that I probably have less money they do, they laugh, until I pull out my pockets and my wallet and PROVE IT! That usually ends the conversation rather quickly!

    I've seen just as many white guys and women as blacks working the parking lots! I've seen the same white woman with the dark hair "I'm not a lot lizard but I'm with my daughter and I need gas money." BUT, I watched her get into a truck and rock it for a few minutes! The last time I saw her was in Kingman at the Flying J and before that was in Effingham IL about a year before that!

    The best one i saw was not in a truck stop but at a offramp in Oxnard ca. on a saturday morning. guy had a sign that said will work for beer. he was sitting on a cooler. filled it up in about 1 1/2 hours. at least he was honest.

    I pulled into the hook in Vegas after midnight a few years ago, and spotted this old black man going through the dumpster. After I parked, I grabbed some food out of my truck and took it over to him.

    I'm not a soft touch, but there was just something about this situation that really bothered me. I'm glad that I did it, because he was extremely thankful for it, and ate it right there.

    On an off ramp in Barstow, CA waiting for the stoplight to change. A young man was on the corner holding the typical cardboard sign. Another young man comes over and gets up in Guy #1's face yelling something. Well, Guy #1 isn't going to take that, so he bops Guy#2 over the head with his cardboard sign. This incited a cardboard sign whapping battle that had me laughing so hard I popped the clutch and stalled the truck.

    My boss told me this one. He was at a station unloading gasoline when this guy comes up with a gas can and asks if he could have a dollar for gas. The boss tells him we carry no cash. Then the guy sets his can down and goes inside the station. My boss goes over and grabs the can, climbs up onto the tank, opens a hatch and dips the can down into gasoline until it's full then returns the can where the bum left it. The bum walks out picks up the can and yells at my boss "What the hell is this" my boss says it's the gas you wanted. The bum tips the can up and drains the gasoline into the bushes and says I don't want gas I want the money for gas. NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED.
