    well it did not post correctly even though it was ok when i pasted the list.

    the first part is red for the correct name and blue for the CB lingo.
    for the second part, the red is the CB Lingo, and the blue is the translation.

    i would fix it, but its getting late and i gotta make a run to the The Nasty Nati tomorrow. be safe!

    "Meat-wagon Ambulance" You know most of EMS types dislike that term.. We usually call it a Bus or Rig. We call it a bus because of sheer number of people who use the rig as a bus.. "Ohh I stubbed my toe call 911"

    They won't let me play with that stuff any more :biggrin_25510:. And the stuff they have on this Air Force base isn't good unless you got a plane to toss it out of.:biggrin_25515:
