Rest Area Shake Downs

LOL,.. OMG,.. I forgot about the Irish,.. I nearly pee'd myself the last time I heard a 'real' irishman get his underware in a wad. LOL!!!!

SCOTISH! Ya durned fool! The Irish (creators of God's own water, the fabulous uiskee-bagh) would never invent a game as pointless, boring, or generally frustrating as GOLF!

 

Oh I agree,. the Scotts win in that regard,.. but nay laddi,.. you never heard a bummage as 2 irish hooligans trying to out do the other.

 

Sure I have. The maternal parent is full Irish ancestry. You haven't truly lived until you've survived a war with a full blooded natural Irish redhead. Just be prepared to duck. They throw large heavy objects and have depressingly good aim.

 

Oye,.. I have mate.

Here is how screwed up my lineage is.

On my fathers side,..
Great Grand father on American side was Polish. He married a native American Indian woman. They had a son who married a full blooded red headed irish woman,.. (My grandmother)

Mother - full blooded german. She was part of the Hitler youth as a child.

So there ya have it,.. my inner turmoil of genetics.

Never understood why as a kid,. I would fight until my arms were numb,. even when I was getting my head kicked in,.. I would still keep swinging even though I knew I was losing the fight. Thats the irish in me.

The irish are brutally honest,. In America, two girls friends go shopping and the other asks "How does this look on me?" The friend says "Oh honey, you look ravishing" Lies to make her fat friend feel better. The Irish have a totally different approach. 2 girl friends go shopping,.. the one asks the other,.. "How does this look?". The other responds. "Take it off you heffer,.. makes you look fatter than you already are". And thats being nice.

I have a good dear friend that is from Australia that when he gets me on the phone and starts to ramble with his accent and slang I have to say to him "hey you up for a beer or want to meet somewhere".

Because Frankly I can't understand a frikin word he says on the phone once he gets ramblin.
In person I can understand him if I can see his face and sort of read his lips while my mind is going a million MPH trying to search the vocabulary of what the last word he spoke could possibly be or mean.

I tease him all the time to learn English.
He shoots back at me
" i speak proper English , It is the Queens Englsih.
Being he was born in London and went to a prep school as a young lad until he moved to Australia at the age of 12 ,

To which I reply " Well your Queens English Suks"

i heard a comedian describe how to speak proper Australian.

First you have to start with a heavy English Accent and than go out into the Bright Sun and look at it so you squint and your face gets all tight while you speak and that is how it is done.

On the F Bomb thing

My Ex gf was from Milan Italy and she would drop the F Bomb all over the place over here and I had to constantly get on her about it.
She just didn't get that it was so bad.

So when I was over in Italy with her I started to drop the Italian FBomb Funcoula all over. She finally got the picture.

 

When I broke down in Hagerstown Md last summer, there was an Australian guy who drove a car carrier who started up a conversation with my wife and I.

The motel was a few blocks away, we grew tired of waiting for the shuttle to get back so we decided to walk over to the motel. He was going on an on,. my wife and I were doing our best to not laugh,.. but he was too funny.

The motel had a bar and he invited us to have some adult beverages. Being my truck would be down a few days I decide it would be alright. I'm not a hard liquor drinker,.. too strong for me. I just do beer and sometimes the girly mixed drinks. But he is putting down 2 - 3 shots for every 1 beer to me. Our conversation drifted from just about every single topic,.. my wife had enough and went up to our room. The bartender cut him off and he got upset and told the bartender to meet him outside and they would settle things like real men. To which I decided it was time for me to retire. 2 days later back at Hagerstown Freightliner he was back in the lounge. Said the cops came and arrested him for public drunkeness and disorderly conduct. He still wanted to go back and settle things with the bartender. LOL

It would be more than a little difficult to "enter upon and perform inspections of a motor carrier's vehicles in motion."

 

Uh huh, gotta park that vehicle in operation first unless there's eobr's, sensors and x-ray vision that tell em everything they need to know.

 

I have to say, I was in West Memphis, AK at the flying J. Just parked and some dude walked up to me asking for money to help him out. I have parked there before so I knew what was going on. Now no offence to my Canadian friends but I replied to him: Sure but I only have Canadian money. I still laugh remembering him walking away.
