    While I admire you original post and the practices therein, I think this (flicking) really is a pretty useless skill. Just wipe them off on the steering wheel and/or seat-it's much quicker and safer.

    I was thinking more of an entertainment value...like maybe drawing an x and o board in the steam on window....could flick the red as X's and the green as O'S. Be cheaper than an xbox !

    No, since I've never met you I'll keep an open mind. And remember to roll them boogers into little balls first, those are easier to toss out.

    I find rolling them dries them out and tend not to stick as well.

    Whatever you do make sure you argue with the fuel desk girl when trying to cash a Comchek. Be sure you act like you had no idea there was a limit despite all the girls at the previous 5 truckstops you visited all telling you the same thing. You need to huff n puff and try to stick your chest out further than your gut sticks out while berating the 18 yr old college girl behind the counter.

    tatoos lots of tatoos and a couple lip rings and eyebrow rings a tongue stud or two or three .in every sentence that contains five words you must have to spit out at least twelve swear words and last but not least please treat ladies like they were just inventeded 10 seconds ago and you had never seen one before. Thier is a lot more but I do not want to overload you all at once. Cheers.

    Turn signals are not signals at all, but to be thought of more like persuasion lights telling everyone around you to get out of your way as soon as possible. Always remember just take the lane... you deserve it.

    Don't forget when you are sitting at the counter at the truck stop to start all your stories with " Y'all ain't going believe this......"
     
    Chinatown and cdreid Thank this.

    This is awesome, As you cruise your 4 wheeler(automobile) down the road practice throwing that Gat-or-ade bottle out over the roof to the right side of the road. This will get you ready for trying to hit the trash barrel as you cross the scale as a distraction to the Scale Hand so he doesn't see your steers(front tires) are 1500 pound over. You should make a Great Truck Driver, Also remember when you are backing and have a difficult time getting that 90" turn back down and hold up others for 30 minutes or more, refuse the help from the other more experienced drivers as they are a conspiracy to try and run you into the new Pete setting on your blind side, While there are easier spaces available you picked that one and you are almost in it and the practice is good for you. Take Care Driver.
