    Simple minds need some simple adjustments at times too, and if they were more common, the simple minds would not be as common. lol

    He can’t get flustered when I drop a big maul on that barefoot radio he’s running. Cut them mudduck lips smooth off, LOL.

    When I trained on the railroad, one conductor carried a portable CB. He'd get it out when we were running our intermodal train alongside an interstate, then he'd get on and say, "hey truckers, we got plenty of room for your trailer on here."

    And then the speaker make lots of angry sounds for a while. :)

    Im used to have a friend who was not a trucker, and was in a motorhome when he traveled. His cb handle was poet, and he would tell the truckers that it stood for pick on every trucker. This was in the late 70's and he was joking around and just passing time, nothing like some of the junk that came along in later years between drivers and at least one super ignorant person on a big base in nearly every major city. lol

    I would ALWAYS start something when I was passing thru West Memphis, AR. 4 major truck stops at the intersection of 2 major interstates. Fertile ground for all kinds of shenanigans.
    1976- to probably 2002-3, when cell phones and satellite radio started to make a dent.

    This is why I don't have one and have no plans on ever getting one. Driving at night is my quiet me time, there are plenty of other situations in life that give me my fill of stupid so I tend not to go looking for it.

    Ok here is the thing about cb rambos, they ain't too bright.

    One driver did a brake check on someone who thought he was the guy he was arguing with on the cb, it turned out to be some law enforcement agent.
     
    Shawn2130, AModelCat, speedyk and 2 others Thank this.
