    Well I was down town at firestone one day having tires put on my car and a truck pulled up the driver got out and came inside and ask if we knew where some place was, Me and the guy that runs the firestone looked at each other and said nope never heard of it. The driver then stated "People in this town is dumb dont know where nothing is I stopped four time and no one knows where this place is". I told him to go get his bills he came back with the bill gave them to me I looked at them and started laughing and gave them to the guy that ran the firestone and he started laughing by this time the driver had gotton madder. The guy that ran firestone looked at him and said the people in this town may be dumb but they do know the difference between Lexington, NC and Lexington, KY. Well when he got off the phone with his boss he informed us his boss was going to make him pay for the out of route miles

    Cheese and rice! He's done it again!!!

    Good ol' Jimmy called me up an hour ago. He says, hey Cap, they're deadheading me outta here. What's the best route from Ontario to Lodi? I told him to get up to the 210, take it over to I-5 up and over the Grapevine til he sees Hwy 99 bear off to the right.

    He interrupted me and says, "Why don't I just take 15 up to 40 then zigzag up to St. Louis and grab 70 over to Columbus where I can jump on 71 and shoot up to Lodi? The way you're talkin' I'd have to run 80 all the way to Ohio."

    "For cripes sake, Jimmy! They ain't deadheading you all the way to Ohio."

    "Well yeah they are. Message on the Qualcomm says to head towards Lodi."

    This feller needs a local gig. He's way outta his eliment!
