    Was he really choking or did he just say he was lol... an older driver told me years ago if you ever do something stupid and lose control tell the cops you were choking or had a sneezing fit, they can't prove you didn't, and you can't control the sneezing... not that I would ever want to test that theory lol.

    Oh man!

    Here comes the safety groups. They are going to pass laws that will make it illegal to eat pork rinds or any other snack foodwhile driving a commercial vehicle!!!:biggrin_25522:

    Pork rinds are full of high fat and cholesterol. They can kill you!

    No doubt I stopped counting the amount of Fed Ex trucks I see every winter in the ditch up here in Wisconsin. I lost count one year there were so many so I decided to give up counting it was easier:biggrin_25523:
