    You’re the one that acts like an authoritarian. If you didn’t operate on a double standard, we wouldn’t ever have these type conversations.

    Was in Fargo loading at CaseNewHolland. A driver asked me about a wheel loader in a step, “Is it really necessary to secure the bucket?” I look and see he has the loader secured with 2 chains and 2 binders. Yes, you have to secure the bucket, but you are also required to have 4 points of securement for machinery over 10000lbs.

    “Well, I have been securing them this way for years and never had problems.”

    If that’s the case, why are you asking me about the bucket?

    No more words. He leaves, I print my permit, hang flags and banners and leave. I get to the Morehouse scale, they make me come in. Guess who’s around back in an argument with a scalemaster? I show my permit and registration to a scalemaster and that driver comes in yelling at them and playing the race card.

    Guess what race he is? Freaking pathetic. Next thing he’s gonna say is the DOT handbook was written by Jim Crow.

    That doesn't change the fact that Boss Hogg and Roscoe P. Coltrane were crooked and had it out for the Dukes.

    OK then, let's give you a shot at putting it out there line by line.

    Which parts are accurate?

    Acting what way?

    I was told that it started in prison as a way for the sagger to advertise their sexual availability to other inmates. What I don't know is how, or why, it became popularized in the outside world.

    I heard that too.

    I think the appeal on the outside is “Look at me. I’m a bad###. I did time”.

    Alright I must have missed the memo; what the hell is sagging? Or do I not want to know!

    I didn’t realize until now there was actually a term for this stupidity, but apparently that’s what wearing your pants below your ### is called.

    I appreciate you trying to understand where I'm coming from, but I'm going to decline the shot given. This whole thing went a little farther than I intended, and I feel like I've used up all my shots trying to get my points across. If you don't mind, I'd rather not revive this dialogue.

    Ha! All I can remember about that is that old boy that sang the song "Pants on the Ground" on one of those you got talent type shows!

    Edit to add, thanks for clearing that up for me!
