    every fall I suggest to my boss that he installs auto chains on the truck, two days later he hands me two new pairs of gloves. I ask why, he says these were cheaper than the chains, he usually then pats my stomach and tells me I need the exercise

    Obviously lacking a sense of humor....

    Now I will be contemplating all day whether I more resemble that remark....or resent it. But I can take solace in knowing I can at least spell the word correctly, and I know how to punctuate a question!

    Back at ya punkin!!!!!!
     
    Bumpy Thanks this.

    Well, I just had to come over to this thread and see if someone REALLY was calling otter a "morron." :biggrin_25513: I can't believe it. No class at all.:biggrin_2558:


    Hmmmm, I thought that was a Dick Simon truck? Did May have one as well? Same driver maybe, with two different companies? Didn't get the job done the first time, so decided to try it again?

    Now I have to ask, why would anyone try to put AUTO chains on a TRUCK. Then I said to myself, "Self," (I said,) "Perhaps I am misunderstanding what he meant." So I did a Google and came up with . . . . .

    autotruckchains. . .

    [video=youtube_share;IPd3O5_SJEs]http://youtu.be/IPd3O5_SJEs[/video]

    So now, I only have two questions:

    1) Are they legal for when chains are required here in ANY of the states?

    and

    2) Why couldn't I have come up with this?

    Then I could be RICH as WELL as so #### GOOOD LOOOOKIN':biggrin_25526:
