    A guy locked his keys in his truck at a terminal. He was asking everyone that passed by if they could try their key. Mine opened his door. Apparently there aren't a lot of different keys.

    I've heard that freightliner only has like six key combinations they use. Not sure how true that is,i used to use my century kwy when I drove the Dodge maintnance truck my old church had.

    Not too far from the truth on the number of key combinations.

    All the trucks are like that. It's never been a problem for hubby (or me back in the day), but it has been helpful, and for the exact reason in the story above!

    And the reason I keep protection in my truck.
    and my human bug zappers are only illegal in NYC and DC and a few other places I dont go any how.

    But as a stubborn Texan,
    someone will have to take em from my cold dead hands.


    I find that sweat pants and a messy bun and no make up only deter about 30% of the men from walking into another truck while staring too hard.
    However, walking about making faces like Scrooge seems to work.

    I have one of those "looks" too . . . similar to the look a dragon would give when being disturbed. When all else fails, that one will drive away the REALLY annoying ones that missed all the other hints.
