    We were talking about big guys earlier: I remember a little funny story from the days of doing some work for Halliburton in Iraq.

    There was this new guy, a new arrival, a "Fat B a s t a r d" kinda guy come in for his orientation.
    Well, he climbs in this MB Actros COE and he literally completely fills up the driver side of the cab.
    There stands the orientation instructor, a Scottish guy, really, really nice, the nicest guy you'll ever meet and a party animal like no other, when off duty of course.
    The instructor looks up and after a few seconds, shaking his head, he said in a strong Scottish accent:
    "Boy, you surrre dun't leave enough rrrroom forrrr a bullet to go trrrough!"

    Talking about having to change my britches cause I couldn't help laughing so hard! LOL

    If only I could get my money back when I'm returning all this drinks in the little room at the back of the bar!

    That would be the perfect deal! I'd never leave!

    But like Toby Keith is say'n: "I like this bar" and I think, I'll let them off the hook......for now! LOL

    Oh yeah, we're more or less the same breed! Lol

    Tequila and corona? Even I wouldn't be able for that mix, you animal!! 4pm somewhere for sure but a proper drinker doesn't watch the clock! Unfortunately my wife does, that can be a problem but no, I haven't learned yet!
     
    Westbound Thanks this.

    Well of course it does, but like I said if you don't understand it you can drive faster than what's good for the truck.

    My goodness guys, take it easy with alcohol, can't be good to drink that much sitting behind a computer ;)
     
    Westbound and Scania man Thank this.

    Atleast it's behind a computer and not a stearing wheel. Enjoy the drinks guys. :biggrin_25515:
