    Everybody should do that at least once, to see how far the spray goes!

    Then there are guys like me, before my surgery/procedure, that would dribble. Dribbles don't go very far. And you cannot write your name in the snow either!

    ...well you may have better luck pissing into a bottle then!

    ...I'm young and learned the value of exercising certain muscles early on.

    Hey now, be careful how and what you exercise. You might get hairy palms. (so I've heard)

    Spend much time out west (particularly Wyoming) in those 26 years?

    Yes, yes I have, in my earlier years, and I still haven't seen any flipped over trucks. It goes back to the o/p, if he is afraid of some wind, don't become a trucker.

    If you go thru Wyoming that's all you'll get is wind.If you stop too much due to high winds your dispatcher will start getting angry so don't make it a habit.If you see a bunch of semis on their side due to the winds then yes its time to park it till it dies down.But the normal everyday wind,no.
