    Get off route in Pennsylvania and have to turn around in a pig pasture because low clearance in front of you. Pigs are noisy. Pig farmers have shotguns.

    Taking another driver out on a night run for training, he speeds through town, local mounty pulls us over into a dirt lot, he waits to set air brakes until mounty standing right next to truck yapping about speeding in town, he reaches over and sets all brakes, a few minutes later the dust settled, really thinking that we were going to spend the night in jail on that one, it was about a half hour lecture and we got off with no ticket, I was sitting over in the jump seat really trying not to laugh.
