    I don't get it!
    Also, why were your cheeks a deep shade of crimson; wearing Depends and got diaper rash?
    Think I better go check my blood/sugar level; my brain is out of whack or something.

    I have no idea what went on here, but it sounds suspiciously like the start of a letter submitted to an (ahem) Adult Entertainment Magazine.

    I guess you had to be there.......or I should have explained in better detail....

    The Driver of the munson truck was Pretty High..The Passenger was Extremely Stoned...It didnt hit me until they Both just Smiled at me..i put 2 and 2 together and Figured out why The Driver didnt set his brakes..And why the Passenger Just sat there expressionless while the truck gently Rolled by itself into mine.....

    Just picture (if you can) a Truck Rolling by itself WITH someone in the Passenger Seat Just sitting there Not Knowing What Going On

    I was in a hurry last week at the fuel pumps at Pilot and pulled off. Someone was honking next to me on I95 and pointing. I pulled over and the diesel handles were still in my tanks with the hose tangling on the ground. Somewhere there's a Pilot missing two pumps along i95.

    I had very heavy load when I pulled off on an off ramp to check the quelcomm. When I pulled off in first I had forgot to release the brakes because I was in a hurry and ended up snapping the u joints to the drive axle. Went snap!

    The lessen is always take you're time. Because when you get in a hurry ##### happens!

    Ah about 16 years ago a month gone from getting my cdl I sat in a truck and couldn't get the #### thing to start to save my life. Tried everything, so I thought. Got a mechanic over there. He looked around for about ten minutes and started to get flustered a little. I jumped back in and tried once more and nothing. Don't know why or what made me think to do this but I decided to push the clutch in, AND TAKE IT OUT OF FIRST GEAR! Started right up like a charm after that.

    *bows* Thank you, Thank you.
