A Measly Water Bottle?

Bigsaint-



I'd take a water bottle any day over a 1. 5" Posse Box full of papers spread out over three lanes of arterial. Boy, was that fun...

Bob, yep, you got me beat, for now . I guess it's pretty tough to blame the trash on the highway on someone else when it's all P. D. report forms, eh? Be safe Brother !!!

While I was taking measurements for the exhaust on my 2001 wrong fuel truck, i had set a new pack of Garcia y Vega Gallantes on the tool box. Well, a 12 pack later and darkness setting in, I wrappend up the project (had to make sure the tape measure was correct). For the next two days, I cou8ld not remember where that new pack went. Well, when I crawled under the truck at work to see if the new muff would fit... . There were the stoogies sitting on top of the muffler wedged into the carrying handle of the thing. Ahhh, they still taste good after the road salt was removed. .

4" of clarance into Garage!

I have/had a $2000 Satalitte antenna on top of my truck. After a long long trip to San Diege I returned home and tried to put my truck into the garage. Opps, I no longer have an antenna on top of my truck.

I got a call one day to rescue a friend stuck in a pond sized mudhole. I took off and hooked to him with my 30ft. military strap and giant screw in clevis's. Took a little work but I got him out. Anyway I was on my way back home and wondered why everyone was honking their horns and pointing at the back of my truck. I pulled over and realized that I forgot to unhook the strap and clevis's and put them back in the truck. I had been dragging it for 10miles.



I asked myself, "Where's your sign?!"

A few years ago, a lady pulled up along side me at a signal and I noticed her purse sitting on top of her car. I ran along about 4 blocks trying to get her to pull over--blew horn, motioned, yelled, etc. Poor lady looked scared to death, but I did not want to give up as I had no idea how far she had to go or how big a problem it woud be for her to loose it. Kept hoping a cop would come to my assistance; she finally pulled over and when I pulled along side her, she rolled her window down about 2 inches and looked ready to hit the gas.

I just asked, "where is your purse?"; she was out of the car like a streak, and I had a budy!

Don't worry MillRat



I've lost thousands of dollars worth of tools over the years, from leaving them under the hood, on the frame rail or where ever. You'd think I'd learn not to do that, but I guess you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Anyway, guys like me keep the SnapOn man from going hungery.

Back when I turned wrenches for a living I had a set of those Snap-On mugs with the purdy girls on it. It fell off at about 40mph and started to bounce as I remarked how tough the son of a gun was. Just as the words left my lips on the 4th or 5th bounce it exploded. Big Saint and Dreher, one of my trooper buddies told me of the time he started his shift. This guy is about 6'5" and at least 280 and drives a Camaro. Guess where he put the shotgun when he was loading the car, yep right in front of the light bar on the roof. Said it was still the 1 hour and many miles later Don't work too hard.

ooops

Several years ago I went out to my buddies place in the country to adjust the valves on his VW bug. Done the job and loaded my six drawer Craftsman tool box in the trunk of my 40 Ford. When leaving his place I had to impress his goodlooking sister with the power of the Buick under the hood. The loaded tool box was more than the trunk latch could hold under acceleration Tool box and tools end over end and tools all over the hiway. Boy was she imperssed

Am I the only one to do dumb things like that around the opposit sex??

Testosterone & Stupidity

My THEORY is that testosterone promotes stupid acts, ,

Your story is painfully familiar.

 

[KWIKKURT]

My best one that I haven't been able to totally block out of my mind was years ago I was driving freight in Iowa. Driving from small town to small town (appx 7 miles) delivering Hardware It was Frezzing cold winter day and I had just jumped out of a Tractor / short single axle trailer combo and into a "Mainstreet style" hardware / appliance store. So I am standing inside asking the manager where do (Back door?)they accept deliverys. And his eyes get real big! . I turn around and my truck is rolling backwards down main street!. I ran out the door and down the street slipping on the ice and snow as the trailer is turning towards some houses. I lept into the cab and stomp on the brakes just as it starts to jacknife!!. It slides to a stop backed in a guys driveway better than I could have backed it in. No damage to truck or house. It was 10 minutes before I could stop shaking! Needles to say I did not enjoy delivering to that town for a while



What had happend was I had gotten in the bad habit of just popping on the trailer brakes and not the tractor parking brake so it was easier and "Kwiker" to release them and get rolling to the next stop. While driving down the slushie hyways the trailer brakes had packed with slush and froze up enough not to set.

When I was reading your post, I thought your truck was sliding on the ice, until I got to the end.



That thougt sent me back to the time when I was working for the charter bus company.



Several highway coaches came into the yard, after an ice storm, and parked side by side. After the drivers left, one of the buses started sliding sideways and went into the side of the bus next to it. In turn those two buses slid into another one. You should have seen me and my co-workers out there on the ice trying to separate them without causing damage. It was like the three stooges.

Speaking of ICE

I was driving to Big Bear to go skiing in a blizrard on a road called Rim of the World. I was driving a '66 CJ5 Jeep with the worst tires ever made. They were combo sand and mud tires, were not good in the sand or mud and worst on ice. I rounded a corner going about 5 miles an hour with a Jag parked/stopped in the center on the four lane highway. I hit the brakes and in slow motion slided along side of the Jag. After sliding pass the jag, I came to a stop, all in slow motion. I got out to see what damage I had done expecting the worst. The guy in the Jag opened his window and said "Close call". I said "Please check your car". He said he did not want to get out of his car in the cold. On the jeep I had one of those whip antenna with the ball mounted on the side. It had made a perfect crease down the length of the side of the Jag. I said "You better look at your car". He declined. The ball had finned my Jeep off his Jag with no damage to the Jeep. I continued my way up to the ski resort only to find in closed. Never saw the Jag again. Got new tires.

I crashed into a stone wall at almost 30mph, in REVERSE in my 86 Dodge diplomat. I had 6 people in the car too. I was being chased by an black Albino midget with a huge steel pipe. Only the passenger door would open. Very nasty. It was about 10 years ago, i now avoid that area.

 

[Doc Tinker]

LMAO@EMD and the albino midget

 

[EMDDIESEL]

The scary thing is it is TRUE!!, i really was being chased by a black albino midget

ROFLMAO

[EMDDIESEL]

No, there was no pink elephant. Why does nobody believe me?. There really was a black albino midget. We are on dark road with no street lights at like 3 am and this guy was standing on the side of the road, we thought he needed help, instead when we stopped he tried to attack us. It really happened

 

[Doc Tinker]

I'm still laughing over this one
