    Makes it harder to hold your trailer upright in Wyoming with a 70mph crosswind on the ice.

    Some men think they look better in Skirts. To each their own.

    ^^^^^^^☝️
    If the skirts aren't low enough to the ground, oftentimes you can see the undercarriage dangling from beneath it.

    YUCK.

    Because their gender confused over there so they just decided that everyone should have skirts

    Here I thought they were looking for bombs, drugs, people, space aliens, cats,, etc.

    Turns out their just a bunch of perverts!

    Sirscrapntruckalot - I may or may not be serious. It has yet to be determined.
