    I listened to this song recently. It put a smile on my face :)

    I'm sure you've all heard it before, but man it made me laugh.

    Not a bad song ,
    Never heard it before .

    I will admit that I’ve used a bottle before , but always disposed of in a dumpster .

    In the 90s I’d leave Biloxi at 4pm and had to be in Chicago by 6:30 am
    Little over 900 miles , takes 14 hours with a fast truck. So I had an whole half hour extra.
    I packed sandwiches and used a bottle if I had to . Might stop once to stretch my legs and run around the truck a few times .

    My 1985 LTL 9000 Ford had a big cam Cummins that was souped up a little, and a 13 speed

    It would do 65 up most any hill grossing 79, Would do 104 on flat ground empty .
    Sucked down the diesel though, got 4.5 mpg . But that run paid $1,200 to the truck.
    Used $200 in fuel at 98 cents a gallon.

    came back empty for free. did that run twice or three times a week. Gone two or three nights a week , made some good money , using a truck that cost me $15k


    Also used a bottle if I was parked and it was pouring down rain and you gotta go bad.
