    LMAO! Stopped at my J here in OKC long enough to buy a drink and some seeds. That fat SOB and his kid are working group the parking lot early today.

    I park at the TA and walk across the bridge to club keno
    I always have to walk through a gauntlet of beggars wanting my beer money.

    That just ain't right. It's one thing to ask for a handout. But when it comes to wanting your beer money, it's just gone too far!:confused:

    They're like trolls
    They guard the trail to the bridge
    By the time I come back, I'm broke.

    I was delivering to a food warehouse in Philly, there was an old guy sitting on the curb in a wheel chair with a cup asking for donations so I gave him a couple of bucks. I went back there a few weeks later, same guy, same spot, but it started to rain so the guy gets out of his wheelchair and walks over to his Cadillac Escapade, puts his wheel chair inside and gets out a 40 oz bottle of beer out of a cooler and lights up a cigarette. The nerve of some people.
     
    rolls canardly and driverdriver Thank this.

    Won't be too long before the wrong person feels cheated and that Escalade ends up with more body damage than it's worth. Or a skunk house!!
