    Farts are hella funny.....especially when my wife let's one out. When it sounds gross and I make fun of her, it apparently embarrasses her Apparently men aren't supposed to comment when a woman farts. We are supposed to say anything if we hear it in the middle-of-the-road night and we wake up. Apparently, I'm supposed to stay asleep. Lol

    Man I was #####ing bout the price of coffee the other day at the truck stop. 2.50 is stupid expensive, unless I can go to the mom and pop truck stop, then I heard my brother's order at Starbucks. I have never stepped foot in there. His coffee and pastry came to almost 12 bucks. I get the same thing at the truck stop, it's maybe ½ of that. That Starbucks coffee would need to keep me up long enough to run 1200 miles for that price lol.

    Starbucks coffee is bitter because they roast the beans too long. This unnecessary bitterness is why.most customers dump 2 Big Macs worth of calories in syrups, creams, etc. Starbuck customers know nothing about coffee. Starbucks knows this & the bitterness is their trademark that in the mind of their customers equals "expensive" coffee. "It must be high quality because it's bitter." High quality coffee is never bitter unless someone ruins it.

    Starbucks coffee keeps me awake better than anything else, because I’m so busy dreading that next sip.

    Absolutely. I went to a Starbucks exactly 1 time because my daughter worked there in high school. I drink mine black and I can tell you that it was just about the most rancid #### I've ever poured into my mouth. Picture the dot head convivence store that brews a pot at 10 pm and thinks it's still ok at 6 am. Yeah, never again.

    Well i personally live in a tent out back of the truck stop and after a hard week of working i just kick back on my lawn chair that i found , and eat the food the truck stop or drivers don't want , then head over to the liquer store , use the money i bummed from drivers with a sad story , buy a case of old miwaukee and MD 20-20.
    After i wake up i , go relieve my self back of some dudes truck , stumble over to the store ,wash my face then sit around watching videos on on my government funded cell phone . All the while saving my money for really important #### like going to see a donkey show. Works great !!!
