    Well, at that point his panty situation would become moot. ;)

    I've only heard that on the CB from people with a heavy accent.
    I know the skit it was from, there must be some similarity to a word they know...

    Not a CB panty story but I stopped at Truck World by Youngstown OH a couple years ago
    It had to have been -20

    Went inside for dinner etc and when I was walking out the door some guy was walking in

    T shirt and underwear
    That’s it!
    Not sure his story.
    Could be anything but hopefully the dimwit jumped out to take a leak and his door locked

    I laughed my ### off when a driver the other day was rolling up the interstate on 57 NB
    Several people were warning him on the radio air lines were bouncing on the highway and no marker lights on trl. But he had no CB. MR state trooper pulled him over

    Not covered yet in this thread and not OTR related but...

    If you are running dump a CB is almost required to talk to operators at pits, unless you don't care about cycle time.
